When do you have the best results with fan cooling?
With open case or with closed case?
And why?

The computer works best with the side on.

This is because of the airflow from the front fan to the back/side fans.

reading is my game - learning is my trade - from what i gathered - bring in the cool air to the units - get the hot air out - if u have the side wall off - u lose the stream line of the towers design -

i was going though a heating prob - my reason i was packing too much power in a stock tower - if ur gonna go big - u def need a better tower - u can only fit so much motor in a ford escort
