my pc have 8 80mm fans in it including the tornado and the PSU fan. so loud and so cool

my cpu temperature alarm went off a few times so i had to keep taking the case off and point my 12 inch room fan in there which cooled it by over 10 degrees
i got bothered with taking the case off repeatedly so i've left the case off for the last few days, stupid heat wave

im no expert myself, but my mate is a nut/overclocker, and it seems if u have the proper air-flow u r better off with the side of the case on. he has two fans at the front of the case sucking, and 2 on the back blowing, and one stuck in the side of the case sucking creating a lot of air-flow thru the case, also with a big fuckoff fan over the chip.

or of course u could just invest in a water-cooling case.. much more efficient and a lot less noisy

I've been running my computer with the side off for about a year now and haven't had a problem yet. When my video card starts to overheat I just take my 12" fan as well and blow it into the computer. Works excellent...and yep, quite a ghetto setup too

I finally got my hands on an 80mm fan I found laying around the house so I hooked it up to my computer and it's cooling my processor now.

expert or not, your right

if the case side is off the cpu temp may be cooler, but the motherboard temp and maybee the video card temps will raise slightly, one day ill get round to proving this when i have the temp monitering equipment needed

Beware of killer hamsters and the random running dogs.

reason i leave the case off is because a few days ago when i put it back on the alarm went off again shortly after

i have very poor air circulation in here, stale air and very hot
the alarm hasn't gone off since i last took the case off so this set up will do until the heat wave ends, i don't like the idea of leaving the case off permanently

i am happy i got the room fan a week before my cpu started overheating, otherwise i wouldn't have been able to cool it, or myself
