I have a cooler Master hyper 212 evo. Is it better to have 2 fans blowing off the heat sink or 1 off, 1 on?

Solution
You'll want the airflow to go in one direction only.
So the best idea is to have something like this:
<----<----<----(Fan blowing outwards)-----<----<----<-----(coolermaster) ---------
If you do this:
---->---->---->---->----(Fan blowing inwards)---->--||--<------(coolermaster)-----
The hot air is just getting moved around, and not out.
So to answer your question, both blowing away is your best option

1. generally, all the fans should be pointed such that they form one big 'path' for the air to flow.
2. adding another fan would not really produce a great difference. if you already have an extra fan, you could; but don't go out and buy one, it's not worth it.

You could alternatively do this
<-----------------<-------------(coolermaster) <-----------<-----------(Fan blowing <- that way)----------(Front of pc)
This would take the cool air from the front of your computer and blow it towards the middle, and would probably be most efficient.
