Question How many fans do I need on my cpu cooler?

[Dlaing]

I was just wondering (I can put two on mine)

Might want to share a few things on what you've got

It's a vertical CPU cooler with copper Piper and fins, and I can put fans on both sides, should I? Idk if it will affect the airflow though.

List specs plz

Case
Cpu
heatsink & fan model
Motherboard
Ram
Psu

Ideally should have fans to move air through the fins to cool down. Two for push pull setup is better than one. If your case has an rear exhaust fan, even better.

Noctua make good fans. Industrial fans are great 'if' they fit.

I'll take me some time to get the specs and my fans are dirt cheap to (like 10$ for three) but they do fit the heatsink

Fair enough then, yea go for it.

Face the fans towards the rear. More fans the better but if your case doesn't have good air flow going in and out then the two fans won't perform at their best potential.

Here is my case I have fans in all slots currently. The one on the bottom that says "mx330-x" is a different model and I don't have a fan there.

Nice. Yeah, have the two fans facing the rear.

 

[Dlaing]

Okay, thanks.
