Well, today i recieved my new barton 2500+ from the FedEX guy.

Just got done installing it, I was wondering if ANYONE on this forum use 2 fans to cool their heatsink?

Cause i had this crazy idea and i'm using 2 fans right now. It's heck of alot cooler. I have 1 fan ontop of another.

Stock AMD fan that came with the CPU.

Cooler master 4.

The AMD is underneath the Cooler master running at low speed. Its working GREAT so far.

Try taking off the AMD fan and mounting the Cooler Master in its place: You should get even better performance, because as of now the AMD fan is inhibiting airflow.

if both fans push the same cfm, then all it is doing is taking some of the work load off the other

Nice linky. Isn't it funny how we all think alike?

BTW, if you have a fan in your case side, positioned over the hsf, it will improve your hsf performance some.
