Can I put a fan next to my computer?

Is it OK to have a fan blowing on your PC?
The fans inside the pc are supposed to create a constant air flow of cool(er than in the case) air,suck in air from one side blow it out the other,or at the very least suck out the hot air from inside the case. If you have a case with zero air flow then yes a desktop fan will be better than no air flow at all.
Can I use an external fan to cool my Computer?
Using an external fan will work provided the air flow is directed at the unclogged inlets in the computer case. Some computer users will remove the side panel that faces the top of the motherboard and blow cooling air directly on to the motherboard and CPU heatsink/fan.
Where should the exhaust fan be placed on a CPU?
Ideally, you want to place an exhaust fan as close to the CPU as possible to quickly expel this hot air. A side-mounted fan (expelling or drawing in air in a direction perpendicular to the motherboard) might be useful here, but not all cases support that. When possible, direct CPU cooler output to the nearest exhaust fan.
How do I choose the right fan for my computer?
Pick the Best Fans for Your PC. Any desktop PC with standard case fan mounts will work (80mm, 120mm, 140mm, 200mm—it doesn’t mater as long as they’re consistent). Deciding on a cooling approach that matches your case and your components before you go shopping for fans and coolers can be helpful.
Does a cooling tray actually cool down a laptop?
It will only cool the laptop housing slightly, with all the heat still trapped inside. The same goes for those weird cooling trays with fans underneath. Hopefully some of the actually gets blown into the laptop’s inlets.
