The Mugen 2 is designed to have maximal airflow through the gapped regions between the heatpipes/fins. If you have fans pushing up against either side, there is a significant decrease in airflow and the heat pipes to the rear of the fans will not be cooled effectively (you can usually feel it if you run a program that loads all cores and then touch the fins).

add me in too. As overkill as this thing is for my current chip setup I couldn't get it to go over 38c with prime95 and i'm still waiting for my 2nd set of clips to come in to mount my 3k kaze pull fan but I will be getting something new and improved and OC the hell out of it soon.

I'm just happy because before I started my overhaul i was hitting 60c load temps replaced the case to my storm sniper and it dropped to 45c load, then swapped my zalman out for this big boy and never looking back! I'll post some pics when i pop it open and attach the 2nd fan

Aw crap I totally blanked out and bought a new system with a Scythe Mugen 2 and Patriot Vipers...
Looks like I can only mount the fan blowing up huh? Is that going to get in the way of my mobo heatsink?

No, you can lift the fan over the Memory sticks.

Look at the bottom sentence

I'm considering ultra kaze push/pull myself

reread my post, i said that I plan on upgrading to a newer setup and overclocking, I'm just overhauling my entire setup 1 piece at a time and cooling was 1st

I keep my case under the desk right next to my legs. A lot of people said they are loud fans but to be honest i dont think they are really all that loud, but then again I never really pay attention to my fans because i almost always have music going in the background or something to where I never notice it. Only way I'd go to 1 fan is if it made it run hotter and it doesn't so win/win in my book

I would just like to add that you can fit a fan over ram modules such as the Partriot Vipers.
All it means is that the fan sticks up above the Mugen a bit.
Because of the design you can clip the retention bracket anywhere between the fins of the mugen. So long as your case is wide enough of course.

I had better post a pic as I have 3 fans on mine now! Seems to have made a difference since the new arrival wants to cook the inside of my PC.
I added on e on the bottom to blow the hot air away from the Mugen.
That 4870x2 is very very hot!
