Personally, I don't think you'll get enough of a benefit with the dual fans to make the effort worthwhile. The single fan moves quite a bit of air when its running. The smaller dual setup will probably move more, but, it's got to be a small benefit.


I have...

Benefit was minimal like stated. I just now cover more surface area for more even cooling. MB went to the duals for a reason...

Exactly. A plastic fan hurts power VERY little and since these motors are done by 4500rpm you won't see any gains worth while.
