Is this dumb?

I mean, I doubt you'd hurt anything by doing that, but I don't believe you'd get any tangible boost in cooling performance that way, either, haha. Are you powering it off of a controllable header, or just plain molex? I can't imagine that the top fan would be very quiet running at full blast all the time.

I wouldn't call it stupid. Arguably you could call it redundancy but I would say I don't think you'll see any performance increase from it.

Guides & Tutorials:

PROXMOX - Rebuilding ZFS RAID rpool After Disk Failure

Mass Deploying Customized Windows 10/11 Installs

Building a GNU/Linux Based Windows Deployment Server

Don't see what you need? Check the Full List or *PM me, if I haven't made it I'll add it to the list.

*NOTE: I'll only add it to the list if the request is something I know I can do.

Fans need to be identical to even have something going on. If they don't spin same speed and close to same cycle, you are harming performance rather than improving it.

The cpu under is an fx 4300 and it never got super hot in the first place just felt like zip tieing a fan

Haha, I feel this. Sometimes you just wanna do shit for the sake of doing it.
