Howdy all,

So I am considering adding another NF F12 to my current CPU cooler, EVGA superclock cooler, by swiftech. For reference.

By design it does not include an option to add a second fan in push pull configuration. So I was wondering what options I have to try and add a second one. Zip ties, springs. so on and so forth. And best place to find them. Thanks guys.

Rig configuration is not the one in my sig. 8120 sitting inside a HAF XB. Thanks guys.
 


If it was me, I would use a thin diameter wire (telephone hookup wire) run it from hole in fan 1, thru the fins, out thru hole in fan 2, then pull the two ends snug in the center of the fin area and "twist tie" - kinda like the twist tie on a bag of bread. Do this on all four holes and it should give you enough pressure to hold the fan snug to the cooler, but still be easy to "untwist" in case you needed to take either fan off.
