You can see my wiring thread below to see the improvement in wiring, however, my case ambient temp and even my proc temp still go lower idle when I take off the side of the case. My proc is 25/26c idle, and case ambient temp is 23. It used to be 29c / 27c with side on (Wiring neat). Whats up? What can I possibly do to make it the same or better w/ my side on? Thanks

Re: Temperature still lower w/ Case Side ON
Actually, a well designed case with above average airflow set up will give better temperatures with the case on. When a proper airflow scheme is set up, the pathway keeps hotspots under control and has an ample supply of cool air moving in a set direction, which helps to dissipate heat from the video card and the processor.Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill

It's like Darth said, the side will help a lot in guiding the cool air. If you have side fans, then obviously you need it. If you have front fans, it prevents the cool air from just while it's still cool. If you have a CPU duct on the side, well, that's obvious...
