I have purchased AC Freezer 64 Pro and now I'm looking for the possibility to add second cooler to the 64 Pro. Is it possible? If yes, maybe someone knows which cooler suits for the 64 Pro?

I don't understand what you're asking.. :confused:

I have heard that people add the second fan to the 64 Pro to improve air flow. So I'm asking is it true or not? If true, which fan suits for 64 Pro?
 
I didn't add a second fan, but I replaced the regular one with a 92mm that looks better. Not sure if I helped airflow at all, might've hurt it since the stock Freezer Pro fan is one of the strong points. :eek: But it looks better this way.

And what about temperatures with your new fan on 64 Pro?

The stock fan that comes with the 64 pro if very good, getting a different fan is not going to help. He even said that in his post... :rolleyes:

I believe the stock fan and its cage has some patented design to make it close to completely noise free. However, if noise is not an issue, you could add maybe and LED fan for some kickass looks :cool:
 
Don't really have any before and afters. I never installed the heatsink with the stock fan, I immediately put the 92mm on there. I'd say the difference (other than noise) would be 1 degree at most. The fan that I put on is an Antec Tricool, which isn't particularly loud anyway.
 
I'm willing to bet you could find a way to mount a second fan on the other side of the heatsink. As long as the two fans have relatively close CFM's, it cant hurt to try it.

You could easily mount a fan on the other side. You could do it the same way I did when mounting the 92mm fan to it. Not sure how big of an impact a second fan would make, however.
 
True, a second fan might not do too much. I don't have any idea what the air resistance in the fin area is, but a little push/pull can't hurt.

True, but I guess the only real way to find out would be to try. If I had another matching 92mm around, I would, but I don't.
