Hey guys so I'm trying to put in a second CPU fan on my 7800X3D, did I put it in right?

Turn the one with the yellow corner around
Currently both are blowing towards each other which won't result in much.

no your pushing air only into the radiator, you have to flip it around so the air can go into and then come out of the radiator

Wrong rotation, flip the whole fan, not rotate.
colored bits should touch the cooler

Yep your good, pic 1 is pulling air in, pic 2 is blowing it out. the rubber is meant to silence vibrations but my guess is that you put it on for looks?

He did lol, he just put on the rubber on the wrong side again

So I put the rubber on the other side but now I can't clip it
I..... Am genuinely lost here

@fluid cobalt The side with a cage (plastic strips) is for exhaust. The open side is for intake. You want all intake going towards the back of your case. Just oriantate your fans accordingly. 🙂

Not seeing too much of a temp difference
a second fan would only be about 2-3 degrees max

If you really want low temps [for overclocking] get an AIO
Just remember, an AIO can only cool to the rooms tempature.

ooooff, alright
Well, I have a 7800X3D
Now that I got this cooler on correctly, it's making a new.... strange noise

record it
If the file is too big upload it to google photos/drive and link it
If Warship deletes the link just DM me it

To me it sounds normal, just ramping up.
fluid cobalt
Yeah it just sounds different
compared to 1 fan
It didn't sound different when I mounted the fan incorrectly lol

Don’t sound weird to me
