I was thinking of dual fan on the heatsink, if I change the fans, how many °C could I drop?
If I did went for dual fan on the heatsink, how would I connect it to the motherboard?
Some coolers respond of higher volume / high rpm fans and some don't. In other words there is a point where more air flow does not improve cooling. No idea where that point is on your cooler.I was thinking of dual fan on the heatsink, if I change the fans, how many °C could I drop?
How does the motherboard control the RPM speed of the fans?Dual fans will give a slight improvement as Doyll mentioned. But changing to another set of fans wouldn't be as beneficial unless you got high RPM fans but these would be too loud.
The fan has an integrated splitter so you just connect those two fans together and then connect one cable to the motherboard header.
This is what I'm thinking at the moment,If you have a 4 pin header on your motherboard, it will allow PWM functionality which the Wing Boost fan support. So it's just a matter of going into your BIOS and creating a profile that adjusts the RPM based on CPU temperature. You can use a fan controller if you want but there's not really much point if you can do it automatically from the motherboard.
I'll follow your advice and connect the CPU fans to the motherboard and set it in BIOS,Keep it simple. Use the motherboard. Set it and forget it.![]()

Have you got a picture of the fan integrated splitter as I never seen it before?Guess you missed it![]()

The stock fan is pretty good as it is, I wouldn't bother changing them.

I'm changing mine more for aesthetics than performance although the replacement fans have a much higher static pressure over the stock Alpenfoehn

Lifesaver! I needed them badlyI somehow received an extra of clips with my K2 today, so if the OP is still in need, give me a shout and they're yours![]()
