last time i tried, not so much diff in terms of airflow and temperature. of course, no stand fan beside the case. just open the side panel for several days, and monitor the temperature. no diff in my case

but turns out some cases at my college, open case will result in stealing RAM!

stealing hardwares from inside opened case are really common in my campus last time. but now, no such case happened anymore so far.
must be really hurt if ur performance rams got steal moreover by some noob~!!! doh.gif

wink.gif Open casing doesn't mean it will help the airflow.
If for bad airflow casing type, then yes.
But if for good airflow casing type, opening the sidepanel will only disrupt the entire airflow and the temp will even rise.

second that..for casing with worse airflow, maybe u need to open the sidepanel. but for my case, when i'm closing my sidepanel, the overall temperature (for proc, gc and chipset) will reduced around 2-3'c compared with opened sidepanel...means the airflow for closed sidepanel does really help a lot.. smile.gif
