took the window outta my case

ThePunkGeek · Jan 26, 2002

a few months ago my friend helped me mod a window in my case.
the other day i took the side off and foregot to put it back on (i droped around 4°C cpu temp and around 9°C case temp (the case temp is only 3°C over room temp) well anyways i took the window out and put the side back on and still my case is that much cooler. is it a good idea to leave it like this or should i put the window back in

EDIT: Just had a brain fart, I would leave it on. Dust and garbage will get into your system and mess things up. Safer with it on.

A while ago when I cut the case for my window and didnt put in the glass yet my cpu temp was 6C cooler! Whatever, I dont trust the mobo temp probe neway

The Temp will usually go down when the case is completely open. The only reason I keep mine on is to insulate the sound... It can get loud without the cover on.
Dust isn't really that much of a threat. Computers aren't as fragile as we like to think.

Dust is a pain, IMHO...I leave my sides on, but have 4 intakes, each with dust filters on them. If you leave the side off you should really go through and clean the insides of your case every two weeks or so...

I knew what u were talking about. I was just saying that I didnt trust my own mobo.

But if u leave the side off wouldnt the fans not do their job? How could you get the air circulating if it blows right out the panel because the side is off?

I took my window out too a while ago and my temps drop 6C. I dont understand it. Maybe my fans dont do their job. I have a Sunon 92mm 52 cfm intake, but only an 80mm around 20cfm exhaust.
