Will I benefit from adding another fan on my 212 evo

[AlbinoTexan]

So if I add another fan will it improve temps or will it be the same.

 

id think it would be the same becase the 2nd fan with make the cpu disaffected haeat faster becase wi will still be absorbing g jest from the pipes at the same rate. If you get what I mean

There will be very little difference.

I have found dual fan configurations to only be useful on coolers like this when you run the fans ABSURDLY slow. I think I remember having lower noise at the same temps with two fans, but at higher speeds, it really doesn't make much of a difference

yeah, tiny difference. temperatures might decrease by 2-3 degrees.

Why would that be?

When they're running slowly they produce less noise. When running quickly, one fan pushes enough air but when slowly you need two fans to push as much air as you need to cool it.

When the fans are running at much lower speeds, they cannot produce a whole lot of pressure, having them in push-pull helps overcome the resistance to airflow. When you run the fans faster (or single fan) then it really is good enough for pushing air through it. If it was a much denser stack of fins, two fans would probably help more.

Ah idk if I'm just not picky with sound or what becase none of my fans are loud to me.

The 212 evo's fan is actually really quiet for the air it moves. Two fans are really only needed if you want less noise or just a little bit more OC headroom

I can't oc on my boards as its a phase 4 but I have had troubles with cpu temps

If you have been having trouble with temps, increase the fan speed, if that does not help, try re applying thermal paste. If that does not help, try to optimize airflow in your case. Usually the best setup is intakes on the front/bottom/rear, and exhausts on the top. The intake on the back should help get cool air to the CPU cooler, make sure the heatsink exhausts upwards in this config. What does your existing case fan setup look like?

I can only mount my cooler with the fan pulling air from the cooler to my back exhaust fan no room to mount it facing up. Then I have a intake on my top and a intake on the front
