Hi I have an evo 212 cooler with is great but was wondering if I add a second fan I could squeeze more out of my cpu?

From my experience when I had it quite a long time ago it made little to no difference.

A degree or two is the likely improvement. So basically not worth it.

So I wouldn't get anymore overclocking out of my cpu?

not worth the cost and effort, you might get another .1 mhz but find it unstable

If you want to get better cooling check our cooler intake air temp and see how much warmer it is then room. If it's more then 3-5c warmer (and it often is 15-20c warmer when gaming / system is working hard) you can optimize your case airflow to supply cooler air to cooler. Every degree cooler the air to cooler is a degree cooler the CPU will be.

So if you have 37c air going into cooler and CPU is 60c in a 22c room now, and you lower that to 27c air going into cooler your CPU will be about 50c. This link explains it.
