Thinking about getting a cooler master hyper 212x

I was looking at pictures of them in systems so I can get a visual on how it would look in mine and I saw a cooler master hyper 212 RGB Black edition with two fans but all of my searches on Newegg (don’t care about RBG, it just looked cool being all black with two fans) all of them only have one? Would I need to add another fan after I purchase?

The second fan is totally optional, and unless you're either planning to run a very high-end CPU or do some overclocking, a single fan will be more than enough.

For the most part a second fan doesn't help increase cooling that much on the Hyper 212. I believe they did make a version with 2 fans, but I don't know if they still make it with 2 fans, and I also believe it was cheaper to just buy a second fan than to use it with two fans. Your money would probably be better off buying something like a Noctua NH-U12S for better cooling.

I don't remember seeing a Hyper 212 RGB BE that comes with 2 fans. It may just be a picture to demonstrate support for 2 fans. 

What cpu, case, and ram are you using? Where are you shopping / located? Budget?

I saw the actual video where the picture was taken from after I posted that, he was using a BE hyper212 and he added another fan

i’m not sure if you saw my other post but I need to get a new cooler, I think three of the pushpins broke on my Intel stock cooler (only one ‘clicks’)

also I took it apart to clean it and didn’t put new thermal paste on ( The old stuff physically looked fine but it was dry

 

i have 

Thor V2

I7-3770k

Corsair Vengeance Pro 16gb (2x8)

Looking on Newegg and Amazon

The similar Gammaxx 400 may be cheaper: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/w3c48d/deepcool-gammaxx-400-blue-7434-cfm-cpu-cooler-deepcool-gammaxx-400-blue
