Leaving the sides open?

[xven]

easy answer I don;t know why you would wanna do something like that it will mess up all of the airflow thus making it hotter

Not really. I leave the slide somewhat open and notice a difference of about 5-10 degrees. It is however more prone to dust and the like.

leave it off and stick like a 500cfm house fan there LOL but seriously nothign about will happen only a lot of dust and what not will get trapped in their and yu might get cooler temps

I did that

It was a 300mm uber powerful house fan.

I think we already covered that one. It's like kicking a dead horse. Good job bro.

Anyways... i've found that when i'm benchmarking or stress testing it is better to take the side of my case off and have a regular room fan blowing in to keep the temps way down, otherwise i just leave it on the rest of the time.

welll for me that wouldnt make much sence because i have a fan on the side of my case blowing air in...

as big as a room fan lol!!

the only time that removing the side of the case will increase the temps is if you have AWESOME cooling and airflow. and even then it will be cooler still with a room fan
