i would keep the cover on..for one thing dust and other little particles can get in..if u have an extra slot get another fan. how many fans do u have? what's the temp of the cpu and mobo? ur cooling might be fine cause i went from 2.0 to 2.3 with just 2 fans and it's fine

Sandra is often inaccurate, but it's a good way to test general stability.
I get better temps with my case closed in the Winter, in the Summer i get better temps with it off and a room fan blowing in. Just see what works best for you. Dust is no problem if you clean out your case at least once a month. But if you do any kind of pencil mod i'd be careful...lots of air blowing in from say a room fan, can mess with your mod if its not sealed and cause instability. I haven't selaed mine yet as i got case closed and it's on there pretty good, but i plan to.

well, cpu temp is stable at 32C at 2.10 If i max it out to 2.25, temp starts at 34c and raises 1c every 40 minutes or so... im only running 1 fan... Not counting the fan on the processor and 2 fans built in my PS....
IF i close my case, should i have the fan blowing in or out?? which gives bettting cooling? |
