Pc side pannel

[Rockey]

I broke my two side fans, replaced them, but the new ones are rubbish and are super loud even when on low rpm..

So i have taken off the side pannel.. Is this safe or a good idea until i can replace the fans again? i know it sounds stupid but i dont want to damage anything

thanks

The CPU fan is the most important one that cant be removed, if your graphic card don't have a fan included, no worries.


Your PC is ok, unless you live in the Sahara.

It is alright to have the side panel off but it's not safe, meaning things could craw into your case and damage components.

At the same time, it also allows better air flow. You just decide which you prefer.

I think it could work good way and bad way.

Good way: more cooling, get to look at sexy parts (unless its intel )
Bad way: while it may get more air flow into the case, it could also have hot air going in, say your house is hot, the hot air will just bake the components inside.

All in all, a good move, but make sure the room doesnt get too hot, and make sure the cable management is ok, that way the wires dont block air getting to the nessasery parts, CPU, GPU, HDD RAM etc

It fucks up the airflow, Pulls alot more dust in, your dog, cat, squid whatever can go inside and make a home out of it.
I suggest disconnecting the fans and putting the cover back on.

Mines open no dust at all i got like 4/5 fans no dust no nothing

Even 1 or 2 fans are enough as long as you got them set up properly. I came up with this intresting case once, Lanboy Air. It suggested in the users manual that you set all fans to push inside so theres positive preasure (less dust) and it pushes the air out of all holes and such in the case.
I usually prefer to have more intakes than exthausts because of the positive preasure.

Depends is it hanging from the roof or laying on the floor.
Higher it is: Less dust
I usually clear my air filters every month or so.

The way i go:

120mm on the front dragging air in, one on the side dragging air in. then one on the back dragging air out I'm over the top on cleaning my PC i need a new CPU fan. It sits idle at 32-35c (nothing on. Just the basics) yet the PC is still groaning away every 5-10 mins reccomend any good brands?

2x 120mm at front    in
2x 100mm at side     in
1x 140mm top          out
1x 120mm rear         out

I got Scythe Mugen 3 rev B on most of my builds. Affordable and great performance. CPU temp around 31c while typing this message.
It fits to LGA 775, 1366, 1155, 1156, 2011 and your AMD toys.

They any good Viper/Sandman?

Both come with AMD/Intel mounting clips. Vipers H80 is more compatible with cases, as it only takes up one 140mm fan slot. But mine requires 2x140mm slots, side by side, (my care is a NZXT Phantom 410), so be careful with that.
