Fans

[Shank]

I like to keep my side casing of for ventilation right but i here its not good.

So i got to ares where can place extractor fans then place the side panel back on.

So the questions is do i leave the panel of or put it back on and install the 2 extractor fans instead.

Does it really make a difference.

And no i have not over clocked anything.

thanks in advance.

When had my side panel off I got a lot of dust inside. Since I got a new case with a extractor fan it's been, not surprisingly, much better.

A case is designed with ventilation in mind, or shall we say, a well designed case is so designed. Running a machine with parets of the case open can cause overheating to take place.

More importent is to clean out any dust by blowing with compressed air and wiping any sticky dust off fan blades and filters. If smoking takes place around a PC one can get a nasty mess of tar and dust in all the areas of high air flow which impedes the flow and this is exactly what you don't want! So don't smoke in the same room as your PC

ok so i play bf 2 for 8 hours i should not smoke

most case are not designed for good air flow, specially one's under 500 bucks

just having a back fan aint good

go out and buy an aerocool zer drgree case, around 700 bucks

it has a back fan 120mm
1 front 120mm
one on the side which 25cm and works really well

also try and get a watercooling system going because it remove's the need for good airflow

yea i noticed when i took my fan off the tar was dripping off my fan lol

shank just make sure your pc room clean man, keep alot of the windows closed
dust is something we cannot get away from, if you got back dust it means your room aint clean,

i clean and dedust my pc every 4 months or so
