i want to replace stock cooler with something better, im on a budget so i was thinking of buying This, i want to add another fan to the heatsink, but since they would be two different fans, is it possible to synchronize rpm for both different fans?

Wouldn't you be better off applying the money from the second fan to simply buy a better cooler?

(that was a completely rhetorical question, btw)

Using a splitter on two different fans will supply them with the same PWM % or voltage, but they will run according to their own fan curves and will not be running at the same speed.

Add another $6 and you can have a Cryorig H5 with way better cooling and quality.

the shipping alone for that heatsink is more expensive than why im trying to get (35$ shipping)
tried searching for one with international shipping but it had increased price
however, i was planning to buy a 1$ fan but hard to a 4 pin one

So where are you. What website can you order from?
I have never seen the cooler you posted and it looks like garbage, but I could be wrong.

Would help if we knew the details of what your sytem is; case, motherboard, RAM, etc.

Is it really important to even attempt to synchronize fan speed? I guess maybe if the fan speeds were radically different, I would put the faster fan as the push fan.

my motherboard is: ep43-ds3l
ram is some kingston 2x4 ddr2 somethin
socket for cpu is lga775
i wish i knew which case im using, i was too young when i got it, however i have about 11l x11w x12h space for heatsink

im from israel, i generally order from chinese sites that support paypal (banggood, tinydeal) since they often have free shipping
many Chinese stuff also have free shipping on ebay.

Edit:accidently posted twice

What is CPU clearance is. Distance from surface of motherboard to case and subtract 8mm.
Best way for us to help pick a cooler is to have links to websites that buy from.

Your motherboard has plenty of room from CPU socket toward PCIe socket.
What is the distace from center of CPU cooler fan to power supply?
 
#15 ·
So we have 162mm CPU to case and 74 center CPU fan/center CPU toward PSU.
How tall above motherboard is the top of RAM?

No problem.

I don't know what coolers are available to you so hard to make suggestions. What do Cooler Master Hyper 212 cost there?
 
#19 ·
What about cooler companies like DeepCool, Alpenfohn, id-cooling, rakintek? I'm not having any look looking from here. Sorry

I'm thinking single tower single fan cooler with 4x 'U' shaped heatpipes Maybe imporve your case airflow with front fan

Raijintek no international shipping
Alpenföhn too pricey for me
id cooling and deepcool, they do sell very cheap stuff for 15$, i wish they had something for around 30$ for some quality
ill keep searching for a good deal on the CRYORIG H5 you mentioned, thanks for everything

Alpenfohn and DeepCool are owned by same people.

What id-cooling and deepcool coolers did you find?

I may step away from computer, but will answer when I get back.
