They're a little different, and most people put in either a Koyo, Fluidyne or Ron Davis. If you still have em, the OEM fans are fine.

you can order an S4 one if you save your S5 brackets off of your old rad.

I got a Koyo n flow and cut my stock shroud to run the stock fan. I tried searching and couldn't find my old post with pictures on how I did it

If you read old threads you will see that some of the cheaper dual pass radiators don't have a proper divider. Also the design on the core could be bad, not to say koyo is that great. Size isn't everything
