Does Cpu Cooler Blow Air Out Or Suck Air In?

[Sunehildeep]

hello. i want to know that does the cpu cooler with heatsink attached with it Blow Air Out Or Suck Air In? i have an extra cpu cooler so i thought to install it in my cpu to help cool it down.my cpu overheats so plz tell me that cpu coolers blow air out or take air in. here is the pic of the cpu cooler http://www.shopclues.com/cpu-cooler-a94-copper-insert-heat-sink-fan-for-core-2-duo.html

The CPU cooler blows air through the fins.

In that pic, the fan blows down through the fins. Not 'in or out', but 'through'.

means that this fan blows air from the fan and into the heatsink.

What cooler is on the CPU now?

Do you have an intake case fan nearby you could angle towards the cpu cooler?

 

[Sunehildeep]

wait i will upload the pics of my case

this cooler only which i posted the link. i have 2 coolers like this one is installed and other i am going to install to cool down my cpu

here are the links to my cpu case. please see all these 4 images and plz tell me where to install my extra cooler for cooling my cpu.

You can't put 2 CPU coolers on 1 CPU. It doesn't work like that.

Based on what I can see... You might want to add an exhaust fan underneath the PSU to help remove the ambient warm air circulating in your case. Not sure if a 120mm will fit in the bottom as intake or not. Exhaust is equal importance to intake.

what i dont understand? then this extra cooler which i have will not help in cooling my cpu. plz tell me any place where i can fit it to cool my cpu.

You have 1 CPU, and a CPU cooler attached to it. Anything else is just fans attached to the case, to move air through the case.

Cool air in the front/bottom, hot air out the back/top.

You can not use the cooler you showed as an added cooler. Period.....

To help cpu cooling, mount a 92mm fan as an exhaust to get the hot air out of the case.

And... do you have a heat problem with the cpu anyway?
I doubt it.

yes i have a heat problem with my pc thats why i was installing it.

What is your cpu?
What is your idle temperature, and your temperature under load?
What do you use to measure.

At idle, a properly mounted cooler should be about 10-15c. over ambient.
Under load, a cpu will slow down or shut off to protect from damage. That point is around 100c.

my cpu is intel dual cpu e2200.when pc is idle the temp is 55-60 and when underload then temp is 80

Do not be too worried, your cpu will not be damaged.

Yes, you do have a problem.Your cooler is likely not mounted well.
Nudge it and see if it wiggles.
Look at the back of the motherboard.
All 4 pushpins need to be through the motherboard and locked.

Here is my standard pushpin mount post:

The stock Intel cooler can be tricky to install.
A poor installation will result in higher cpu temperatures.

To mount the Intel stock cooler properly, place the motherboard on top of the foam or cardboard backing that was packed with the motherboard.
The stock cooler will come with paste pre applied, it looks like three grey strips.
The 4 push pins should come in the proper position for installation, that is with the pins rotated in the direction of the arrow,(counter clockwise) as far as they can go.
If you want, play with the pushpin mechanism until you know how they work.
Place the cooler so that all 4 pins are oriented over the holes in the motherboard.

Push down on the entire cooler so that all 4 pins are through the motherboard.
When you push down on the top black pins, it expands the white plastic pins to fix the cooler in place.

The trick to getting it on is to push down on a DIAGONAL pair of pins at the same time. Then the other pair.
If you do them one at a time, you will not get the cooler on straight.
Lastly, look at the back of the motherboard to verify that all 4 pins are equally through the motherboard, and that the cooler is on firmly.
This last step must be done, which is why the motherboard must be out of the case to do the job. Or you need a case with a opening that lets you see the pins.
It is possible to mount the cooler with the motherboard mounted in the case, but you can then never be certain that the push pins are inserted properly
unless you can verify that the pins are through the motherboard and locked.

If you should need to remove the cooler, turn the pins clockwise to unlock them.
You will need to clean off the old paste and reapply new if you ever take the cooler off.
