sapphire r9 295 x2 fans in push pull?

[hardcorebluesct]

I want to set up my r9 295 x2 in push pull. My question is....is it safe to install fan splitter and use 2 fans? I can't find any info on power specs going to fan. Stock fan is cheap that's why I want to replace it. Thanks for all help.

How do you use 2 fans on 1 GPU? Lol

But I do get what you're saying about stock fans, I want to replace mine with LED fans

This card has 120 mm stock radiator for liquid cooling and has one 120 mm fan and I want to do push pull with 2 fans but only one 3 pin connector is on it

Anyways is it safe to hook up 2 fans on one 3 pin connector? I don't want to overload that thing and burn it

Well, I never try to mess with things that could be dangerous for my systems. So I wouldn't recommend it. The only thing I'd probably do for myself is replace the stock fan, that's about it.

Especially when I paid $3000 for them

I have 3 Arctic F12 120mm fans connected to a single CPU fan connector, so i don't see a problem with that(someone correct me if i'm wrong). In fact, that particular fans are made so you can connect more of them on the same fan header.

Machetazos- we are talking about gpu. Look it up r9 295x2 and that would be self explanatory.

I have only used push pull for my cpu liquid cooling. But I might be able to do it for my rear fan slot for my top GPU. Maybe I'll try it in a few days and let you know

any of you ever try push pull from the single onboard 3 pin connector? i am going to replace the stock fan with a corsair sp120. but i am thinking about getting a splitter and using the stock fan as well (or getting another sp120.

i am also going to replace the thermal paste and thermal pads on the 295x2. so i will see what that does first.

this guy tries a few different configs, but he says he connects the 2nd fan directly to a motherboard header:
