OMG!!!

For super heavy user, quad fan mounting (total 4 fans) is possible for SCINF-1000 (Infinity CPU Cooler) with SCY-12FC fan clips!

*Caution: Due to the total weight being very high for quad fan mounting, we strongly advise you to mount and secure the heatsink to avoid damaging your motherboard/CPU. For Quad fan mounting, please arrange this at your own risk (ex. spreading weight by using wires to sling the CPU cooler).

LoL! What else can I say?

2 fans i can understand, 1 pulls and the other pushes. But 4 fans? Someone explain to me how this can possibly work.

Okay, I'm just the messenger, so don't yell at me for this!

Here's the way it's supposed to work...

Actually, I think this is a good idea. I get 1C better temps on my Scythe Ninja if I have one fan blowing down and one fan blowing sideways than if I have both fans in a push/pull config.

I don't know how it works, but I'm pretty sure it does.

that just looks silly

i know i'd get lower temp with my ninja plus, when i used 1 higher RPM 120mm fan (instead of 2 scythe s-flex fans)

Add 3 more fans, and that thing is going to be a monster.


Someone correct me on my physics discussion right now. But having one push sideways, and one push up, doesnt that give a vector displacement of diagonal? so the force of air being pushed diagonally now would be the Sqr Root of 2 of the velocities of the fans?

So for the addition of all those fans, you now got sqr root 2 more force of air being pushed diagonally instead.


*ummmm..... OK.... im gonna leave it on this... *

Ever heard of diminishing returns?

Hard enough to get one fan clipped to a Scythe heatsink!
