then how u get rid of d snake anyway...

my guess will be, he close the casing, throw it all together. safer that way

trow, hahahahha

he threw away the whole set, im guessing he use shieldtox + lighter burn it . .. no laaa.. impossible.! im guessing he just left it there as his pet .btw. im using open-casing now , No problem whatsoever. my temeperature is cooler by a few degrees if i open it , .

Is it appropriate to drill alot of holes on your casing?
I mean A LOT...

It will not costs a problem.
But what for drilling a lot of holes?

I got a cap ayam brand, the design is like cap unta brand. I didnt open the casing because can easily collect dust and also noisy. Bad for ears.

Why is it noisy?? i think you uses a lots of fans,chipset cooler with fans,gpu cooler with fans.

open or closed?
my CM C5 is always closed, there's once , i found a dead grasshopper* inside .....
my intake front has a filter my back is exhaust.....


*my house has no grass areas

it depend on ur fans la..
buy silent fans will help the sound more silent

the article is not wrong.

but btw, we don't have radioactive elements in our PC.

not necessarily. even cheap mATX casing and OC GC, with proper placement of fan you can have good ventilation. it's not about casing size or quality. it's the science of cooling.



open casing DOES NOT give better airflow. you have to put a table fan to get the max out of it.

if you use stuff like Artic Cooling Accelero S1, you wouldn't want to use open casing unless you run the Turbo Module. same goes to running fanless.

FYI my system ran fanless. once i open casing, the system will hang sooner or later. this already proves open casing DOES NOT mean better air flow.

*if anyone wants to argue with me. i run a silent PC that runs fanless on the processor and relies heavily on casing air-flow. it was done by spending hours observing fan speed + temperature to have an optimal setup that works with low-noise and acceptable temperature.



if article for newbie. how can you not trust it? again it depends on the article. i find forummers and people who lack knowledge are more damaging that newspaper articles.



i did both. side-panel open doesn't bring better air-flow or make it more cooling.

if you open side-panel and the temperature is better, then it's clear that your casing doesn't have good air-flow in the first place but that doesn't mean open side-panel always bring you better air-flow.

------------

so yeah. that's about it.

oh and about dust. when your casing have good air-flow, it's not surprising to have dust collection. as long as there's moving air, there will be dust collection. even if you put dust filter (which hurst the air flow) there will still be dust collection some where, with filter on means it'll be on the filter la so either way you still have some thing to clean.

Sorry, by stating open casing gives better airflow is actually wrong, my bad . I was meant by open casing gives more air, more fresh air to the hardware thus making it cooler.

Err, abang goldfries, is that wrong or correct ? Please correct me again if Im wrong

Added on January 26, 2008, 1:50 amQuestion ! This is relying on ambient temperature ? U state that u didnt use any fan in ur pc right, so you were actually observing which fan speed ?

And second question, this is completely relying on fanless rig, how about open casing with fans rig ? Would the result be same ?

Edited : After reading few times I realized u were saying was your processor doesnt have any fan, while how about case fan ?

ok. see, if you're in a hot room and no other flow of air pointing to the casing. then the air-flow isn't that great.

on the other hand if your casing itself has little to no air-flow, then of course opening side panel would result in better ventilation but that doesn't mean it will always be better.

open casing works best when you have table fan blowing, or at least have moving air around.

btw my 2nd unit is now open cased........ haha. well that's because i forgot to close and didn't bother to close.





yes. your cooling always relies on ambient temp.

your casing should have the ambient air going into the casing. cool the components then pushed out via exhaust.

my system relied on 3x 120mm fan. you can see ianho's services, my casing side panel is there. my CM C2 ventilation sucked. i spend quite a bit to modify it to the way it wan. good airflow + low noise.

yes. i observe fan speed. not exactly monitoring the RPM la but i monitor adjust the speed and observe noise level + temperature. to me RPM is not important, more important is the air-pushed vs noise vs temperature. to strike a balance.

my current setup using fan la. the one not using fan was my X2 3600+ on OC 2.5ghz running scythe ninja fanless. side panel off - sooner or later will hang. side panel on, no problem at all.

on my case, it was specially made for air-flow cos i want a silent setup.

even my current rig is silent setup, all fans are controlled by Vantec Nexus.

wow..open side panel will hang, n didnt open will not...hmm.. quite interesting..which mean even u open the side panel, doesnt mean tat definetly u will get better air flow huh..

good with a table fan direct blowing on it

Open case here.. cos am too lazy to put case back on.

for open casing,u'r mother board will eat dust
better not to open it's casing

not only mobo lar
all the hardware will covered wif dust lar

guess most of the ppl here lazy 2 put it back after remove/add somethngy? or its easier 2 remove/add if its open all d time..? i'm 1 of them..

these ppl donno how to appreciate their precious
