Can i use custom dual fans in this cooler ? if yes are these fans good ?

If you are talking about hyper evo 212 yes you can and yes it is one of the better fans for the price if not the best fan for the price you can get a FX-6300 OC'ed to 4.1GHz with that fan.

The fan that comes with the cooler is a PWM fan, so it is controlled by the motherboard and speeds up as the CPU gets hotter.
If you use these other fans, they will be fixed speed. This could be noisier than required when the CPU is at idle.
Other than that, if fitting two fans make sure they blow in the same direction.

Well you can turn off cool n quiet after you use Speed Fan to set how you want the fans speeds to be at certain CPU temps like 40 percent at 40C or whatever you want it to be and like 100 at around 70C

so is there any Blue led PWM fan for the cooler ? Made mistake with the x on the title because i was watching a hyper X ram 😛

 

[popeyetyty]

I believe there are Blue LED PWM's but im not 100 percent certain on that. Make sure the Fans are 120MM and with a square frame though, but i did find someone who said you can get a blue LED on a PWM for the EVO.

I Found this in this site it doesnt say anything about PWM but in other sites it say it has PWM so if it has im going to be fine ? also it has 3 pin connector

 

[popeyetyty]

The EVO is a 4 pin connector but will connect to a 3 pin cpu fan board so you're fine there and im about 95 percent certain it has a PWM. The only thing is thats a case fan not a CPU Fan.

This is the Hyper 212 EVO link to amazon https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Hyper-212-RR-212E-20PK-R2/dp/B005O65JXI and this is a Hyper 212 EVO CPU fan https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-R4-BMBS-20PK-R0-Bearing-Cooling/dp/B0030DL37I/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1466238349&sr=1-1&keywords=Hyper+212+evo+fan

Yes you can use whatever 120mm fan you want -you'll have to screw the bracket/clip onto it and snap it on.

Food for thought although. I have a evo 212 on a i7-5820k OC'd to 4.1Ghz.

At first I had the extra fan -in a push/pull config. I went to clean my case, and the push fan (blowing onto and through the heatsink) had a whole lot of dust build up behind it on the heatsink. I ended up leaving it off (so just one fan pulling air away from heatsink) and ran some benchmarks.

My idle and load temps dropped by at least 5C - 8C degrees. Obviously thinking the dust was the culprit I put the second fan back on, and ran the same benchmarks -and it barely made a difference. At most a single 1C better -and in fact the temps were higher in one benchmark.

Bottom line - I don't think the extra fan is worth it for the ~1C difference and now dust doesn't get caked up in the heatsink.

The stock fan that comes with it does me just fine -but if you want a nicer one/LED or whatever I recommend any fan made by Noctua:

PWM fans always have at least 4 pins and has to be plugged into a 4 pin header on the board. Otherwise it just runs full speed DC all the time. Unless you have some adapters and/or fan controller.

These fans can't be speed controlled at all by the motherboard.

 

[VincentP]

The noctua fans suggested above are very quiet, but just as expensive as your cooler and not LED fans.
Here is one that might fit what you want:

It comes in blue or red LED and has PWM control.

As mentioned above too, the second fan will make very little difference to cooling.

I know it cant be controlled by the motherboard but you can use speed fan to control the fans.

Speed fan is just software. It can't slow the fans by magic. You need PWM controlled fans for this to work.

Yes i know and you do know that the guy is saying he wants pwm fans....

Your original post about speed fan was a response to my post that the non-PWM fans he had linked may be noisier than required when the CPU is idle.
Speed fan doesn't help with this.

I've linked some alternative PWM fans with LED lighting:

It comes in blue or red LED and has PWM control.

I didnt click the link to know if it was a PWM fan.
