What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The title says “2 x CPU Cooler”, while the features describe two fans and the explicit included-components field lists one CPU cooler. Fan airflow is given as both 66.17 and 58 CFM, and fan interfaces appear as 4-pin PWM and a 4-pin/3-pin adapter description. Treat these details as inconsistent or unconfirmed and check the selected listing and included fan configuration before ordering. The manufacturer also says AMD boards require the original motherboard.
