Adding fans to H70

Volkszorn88 · Aug 23, 2011

What's the best way to go about adding 2 extra fans to the corsair H70? To have a total of four, two on eachside. Do I need longer screws or is there another way?

if anyone here has done it, if you don't mind post pics ^^

Thanks in advance.

fans stacked is pointless and most times lowers effectiveness of just having one on each side

If you want to try for giggles, longer screws will do it, just take the pair of fans and H70 with you for a test fit of the length.

What you should do instead is gut a third fan and put it in between the intake fan and the rad as a shroud. This has been known to improve the flow in some cases, but the difference is minimal.

I wouldn't stack fans on it lol. I messed around with stacking a third excalibur fan on the intake (it's magnetic so you don't have to screw it on if you don't want) and it didn't do anything except make a lot more noise.

Here is an example of a pre-made shroud: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/7...er_120mm_Radiator_Shroud_-_Dual_Blue_LED.html

Making it yourself with a gutted 120mm fan should work the same.
