i'm after a noctua d14 or silver arrow to replace my titan fenrir but how do you connect both the fans to the cpu header on the mother board x58 ud5 and which is the better cooler...thanks

Both are pretty much the same but the Silver Arrow is cheaper and slightly quieter. You don't have to connect both fans to the CPU header, you can always connect the second fan to another header. However, you can get fan splitters if you still want both connected to the same header. The Noctua comes with one bundled already.
