I recently added a window sidepanel to my new case which has 1x80mm lower front intake fan, 2x80mm upper rear exhaust fans, 1x92mm blowhole exhaust fan and 1x80mm sidepanel intake fan (plus the PSU fan). Lots of airflow but also negative case pressure. I noticed that the original non-window sidepanel w/92mm intake fan would replace the sidepanel under the mobo w/no mods. So, I attached the fan on the outside of the sidepanel (not enough room under the mobo tray for the fan to fit) blowing in attempting to reduce the negative case pressure. Booted up and what a surprise! My cpu temp dropped by a full 5C!
Anyone got an explanation as to why I've experienced such a dramatic drop in cpu temp from this setup? TIA!...
