Hi, I am relativly new to overclocking, I have overclocked my Athlon 1.33 to 1.4 with ThermoEngine V60 -4210, and have installed two 80mm fans, one to the front bringing air in and one to the back (top) pulling air out. This only helped my cpu temp by about 1-2 celcius, I have large Air vent in the back of my case running along by the pci slots ect ,and also a large vent on the botton left hand side of my my case. What I want to know is , shall I block up these vents of not? (any sujestions would be apriciated!)
Cheers,
Matt

YES block them up , they just let air move slowly out , think about it , have you ever heard of a wind tunnel with screen sides? the case has those very small vents on the side for pcs with no case cooling , but Im gonna block mine up since I have 2 80mm fans , block up the vents! airflow will be better

Matt, Iwould also suggest you block putting cooling posts on the AMD CPU post.
Do you not read some of the suggestions in the other sections. Like POST IN THE IN PROPER SECTION.
