Well, the one fan has served me well enough untill now and I am looking to go a bit higher with my OC. So, I am planning on leaving my stock DK fan (which I hear and have seen first hand is a pretty good fan anyway) on it and adding a second one in a Push pull type setup.
__________________So, which fan do I go with? I am trying for something quiet and moving alot of air. The loudest, and fastest fans can be ignored, Im looking for a something that wont be louder than my 5870 @45% fan speed. Also with any fan reccomendations, I would like someone to point me in the direction in how to mount it to the HSF. The standardize rubber feet won;t work like they did for the first fan, because of a lack of places to hook the feet to. So suggestions? Or just zip ties? Rubberbands? Thanks in advance

Narynan, The push/pull method will yeild you depending on ambients 2c sometimes 3c gain in lower temps. I am using these xiggy fans in my set up and my xfx 4870 fan at 39% is louder than the xiggys. I mounted the push fan with the supplyed rubber plugs and the pull fan is mounted with little velcro squares in the 4 corners and for extra holding power i have used the paper clip mod and it works perfectly and personally i think it looks better than zip ties & rubber bands.
Let me go dig up some pics so you can see.
