alright guys, seems like opening up the case solves the heat issue. i guess i will just stick with the same case for now

If your component temperature drops with opened computer case, this means the air flow in your computer case is not setup efficiently.
At least 2 fans for intake and 1 fan for exhaust. (Add 1 more fan for intake if you are using graphic card for gaming).

Note: The disadvantage with open case is dust will accumulate faster.

I am using the dell casing lol, there is only 1 exhaust fan and no intake fans.
Just checked, after one month of usage i can already see plenty of dust particles inside. So i think i will change the casing soon

Thx for reminding me about the dust, i never thought of changing the casing after the temp drop so much with the case open lol

If you have the budget, I would highly recommend you to consider Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (RM370).
The Arc Series is optimized for cooling, whereas the Define Series is optimized for silence.
I owned both cases, and currently using the Define series, is very quiet (almost silent). laugh.gif
