Does your mobo have fan ports on it that allow for pwm control other than the main cpu one? As in the fan ports on the board have 4 pins instead of 3? That's what the PWM specification on these fans need. That's why I linked the other ones as I wasn't sure about your board.
IDK, in case you've missed this is my MOBO: http://www.asus.com/br/Motherboards/M4N68TM_LE/#specifications

Dude, compare both, one says PWM, one doesn't. So that means they are not both pwm.
And I cant tell if your motherboard supports more than one fan that allows for pwm control. just get the non pwm sp 2 fan pack.

That board has a 4-pin PWM header. If you want PWM over two fans on the one connector, locate a y-splitter and use them that way. There is a second 3-pin right next to it, but its marked differently and controlled differently via bios. They are both next to the bios battery.
So I would need a 4-pin PWN to 2x3-pin PWN adaptor ?

If you buy the 4-pin PWM versions I would get a 4-pin splitter. If you buy the 3-pin versions you were linked a few posts back, you can get away with the 3-pin splitter.

If its the EVO then stick with the single stock fan. You really cant do any better. I tried a push pull and no difference

It's simple so lets not complicate it any more. You buy a Corsair SP120 fan (you can get the 4 pin PWM fan) which will be enough to replace the fan you have now, and if you have the money buy a twin pack and get the 4pin to 2x4 pin splitter and connect them both to the 4 pin CPU header on your motherboard.
Buying 2 fans and putting them in push/pull on a hyper 212 wont result in a significant temperature decrease that justifies buying a second fan. (The temperature difference with 2 fans in push/pull will be 1,2 or max 3 degrees Celsius lower).

So i Should Get a SP120 for Heatsink and a AF120 for exhausting?

have you considered scythe fans? They have bearing that manages over 90 CFM with less than 39 dB noise. You can run them at 1600 rpm with only 28.5 dB noise and 61.1 CFM

No just get an SP 120 for the heatsink no need for a AF120 for exhaust. Or just get a replacement fan from cooler master. If it was working properly with it you might as well just replace it with the same fan.
If you find any retailer on Brazil i would give it a read.

Ah, Brazil, didn't realize it, closest retailer to you is in Florida ... so I'll just leave quietly ... bye
