Dual Fan Cooling Performance


Since this is one of the few coolers on the market to come with sufficient fan mounts to run a pair of 120mm fans, we decided to make good use of this little extra accessory. Since the extra mounts are provided, we think lot of people will want to run dual fans on this unit so we elected to use two Noctua NF-P12-1300 fans for this test.


A little over three degree drop is certainly worth the expense of an extra fan to many, but we would still lap the base and see what improvements that gave us before spending any more money on this unit. After all, with the added cost of TWO NF-P12-1300s you are now looking at about a $100+ investment for about the same performance of a single fan ProlimaTech.
