Hmmm

Okay I have a YS Tech 60mm fan on my HS that is sucking in from a duct from outside my case. I have 2 90mm Sunon fans on the side of the case blowing in also across the PCI slots. I have the Entermax PS that is taking heat from above the CPU and putting it outside the case along with 2 cheapo 80mm fans above the PSU and a 120mm Sunon exhaust fan at the top of my case. Now I have the side of my case open cause I was doing something. It's still propped up near the case and the fans are still blowing towards the case and all. My temps have dropped though a bit. What does that mean? Do I need to bring more air into the case or perhaps more air out of the case? Any clues?

wish I could tell ya.. I'm still learning all this stuff myself..

I've been running my computer with out the case on the side for along time now.. when it's off my temps are about 2 to 3c lower.

I just don't like running it without the side. Looks sloppy and to much dust. I also just modded my case so I don't like doing all that work just to still leave the side off.

[Bakeman]

well with the side off it only drops a couple degrees...

So what are your temps with the side on.. if the temps are still low then it wouldn't be a big deal leaving it on..

Well my temps are apparently always higher then what everyone else says. And if I use the formula on the Artic Silver website for adding temperature compensations to Motherboard Monitor then my temperatures are even higher then what it appears. Oh well it don't matter. I'll just put it back on and deal with it. It's not going to burn up and if it does then maybe I'll quit goofing with these computers.
