Need Help Regarding CPU Cooler

[Avik_b123]

Guys I have bought Cooler Master Hyper 212x but cannot figure out which way the fan should be faced. Will be an intake or out take?

Usually you make the CPU fans outake so that it can expell the heat, make sure it faces the rear fan because it will help expell air, if you are doing a 2 fan mount I suggest A Intake Outake setup, The fan facing the front of the case as intake and the fan facing to the rear fan as outake.

I'm using a single fan set up and currently it is in the out take fashion i.e. pooling the AIR away from the cooler. But yesterday when I was playing COD the temperature got up very high and initiates a forced restart. Also I'm using Corsair RM650 PSU and its fan is facing inside the case... is it right? Please give me your suggestions for both. Thanks in advanced.

Either orientation will work.
The usual is to push air through the cooler towards a rear or top exhaust.
That gets heat out of your case better.
Sometimes you need a pull mount to clear fancy ram heat spreaders.

The job of a psu fan is to cool the psu if needed.
It should play no part in case cooling.
In fact, top gold rated psu's warn that the fan may not spin at all.
A psu fan takes in air to cool the psu.
It is normally situated to draw in air from the outside.

If you are having cooling problems, the problem is likely insufficient air being drawn into the case. You want at least two 120mm front intake fans.

Thank you very much for your guidance. I'm going to make sure that the PSU fan gets the cool air needed. Can you help me in one more issue. I know it is very novice question but currently I have only one 120mm fan in the front for intake and 4 more fan installation space (TOP, REAR, BOTTOM and SIDE PANEL). Now can you suggest me how the AIR flow should be? That is, among these 4 fans, which should I use for intake and which are for outtake?

FYI, currently my CPU Cooler Fan is pooling the AIR away from the cooler towards the rear.

Maybe good to say which case you have so people can get a picture about the situation.

I have Cooler Master K380 Case.

Now can you suggest me how the AIR flow should be?
[strike]TOP =outtake[/strike] ->should not be in the case you mentioned,there is a vent but not one that can can have a fan attached.**
REAR =outtake
BOTTOM =intake
SIDE PANEL =intake

Like this.

**
Cooling System Front: 120mm red LED fan x 1
Rear: 80/90/120mm fan x 1 (optional)
Bottom: 120mm fan x 1 (optional)
Side: 120mm fan x 1 (optional)

Specs from cooler master,no top fan mentioned.

As said make sure that the psu draws air in from the bottom.

Thank you very much... Yes it has a vent up top but not one that can mount a fan. I'll attach the other 3 fans exactly as you mentioned and I have had make sure that the PSU is drawing AIR from the bottom. Also currently my CPU Cooler Fan (Hyper 212x) is drawing air away from the CPU Cooler towards the rear fan. Is it ok? Or should I invert the fan face? I'm going to mount another 120mm fan to the CPU Cooler so what should be the AIR flow in this case????

With two fans attached should it be like this,

blowing towards the rear outtake fan.
