Hi Sabrina and welcome to the forums. First I moved your post to it's own topic. It is not a good idea to tack it on to another discussion as i will likely go unseen. Ok, It would be helpful to have the make and model number of the computer so that we can determine what processor it has.

I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY PC'S COOLER I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY COOLERS ARE SUITABLE FOR INSTALLING TO VENTILATE PROPERLY THE PC, SO THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RISK OF HEAT?

The Cooler Master TX3 is good enough, 92mm, and as long as you don't overclock much this'll be fine. At stock speed, it keeps my i5 750 at 50C under load while being pretty quiet. This should fit in most towers, though it definitely won't fit in SFF machines. Again, what is your processor? We cannot help you here without knowing that (or the PC's model so we can look it up, though it's very possible that the same model is being sold with different CPUs, so it's best to include both specs).

Hi Sabrina, again we would need the Type and Model number of the computer to make an accurate evaluation of the processor type.
