1. I am trying to find a program that will display CPU temps in an overlay when playing games. I have tried googling and been unsuccessful.

2. I have a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO with a single 120mm fan. I want to add a second fan on the other side of the fins. What direction should the second fan be directing air? As it stands, the single fan shoots air through the fins and to the back of the case to be ventilated. But if I put an extra fan in the way, it will just be shooting the hot air from the first fan back into the fins. So I suppose the question is whether it is advisable to add a second fan to an aftermarket heatskin cooler and whether it would actually improve things.

One program I know of that provides custom user selected data including cpu temps as an overlay is msi afterburner.

If adding a second fan to a cpu cooler you need to make sure they're both blowing the same direction. Fans blow one way and can be mounted either so you can match up the airflow direction with any fan you choose so long as it's the proper size for the cooler.

Regarding the 212 evo, adding a second fan to it doesn't add much benefit anyway. The cooler isn't that thick so doesn't benefit much from dual fans and what cooling capabilities it has are limitations of the cooler itself. It's a budget cooler, although it's decent it's decent for the price and won't outperform better coolers.
