[Zangetzo]

I was wondering does CPU coolers such as 212 evo works as exhaust fan, or i still need to put exhaust fan with 212 evo ?

All fans on cpu and on backside of case must be in same directon exhaust air... That is good air flow

You should have an additional exhaust fan at the back moving hot air out of the case.

I’d say the exhaust fan(a) is the most important. It’s essential to get the hot air out the case. You need a case mounted exhaust.

Depends entirely on the case and it's layout. For instance in the BitFenix Prodigy it was very common to mount a Noctua NH-D14 and have no rear exhaust fan at all because the cooler to case clearance was about 10mm. The cooler itself acting as a rear exhaust fan.

With some layouts, especially amd, the cooler often faced straight up, not to the rear, so a rear fan was useless and top fans far better suited.

But generally with any tower type cooler, yes, you'll want it facing the rear and have a rear exhaust.
