Yes. Because your fans appear to be at the front (presumably blowing in?) the airflow in the case is very bad. I didn't notice the space for the 80mm's before - but MECtallica is right - whack some out-blowing 80mm's in there and put the side back on and it should help some.Dezerteagal5 wrote:
then leave the case side on?
Basically you ideally want the airflow to go from the bottom of the front of the case, in over the HDD, then up over the mobo, videocard and CPU before being exhausted out at the top of the back.
Yes. That case may look like it breaks the rules, but it doesn't - It's got two big 120mm fans at the top-back, and IIRC, one at the bottom front. The PSU is at the bottom, but it's in it's own seperate section.Dezerteagal5 wrote:

or you could just take it down to the basement, open it up, and use one of THESE Bad Boys:The Stillhouse Kid wrote:
No shit, looks like you could have a family of prairie dogs living in there. Go to Wal-Mart and get some canned air, Windex, an empty spray bottle and some Klean-Strip S-L-X Denatured Alcohol(in the paint section). Take everything out of your case and clean the inside with the Windex and some paper towels. Then fill an empty spray bottle with the S-L-X and clean all the guts with it. Denatured alcohol is perfectly safe for this. Then you have the canned air on tap to prevent future dust build-upleetkyle wrote:
I didn't look at the pictures. MEC is right here, you need to remove some of that dust, otherwise you are just setting yourself up for bad temperatures.MECtallica wrote:
lol, the dust doesnt have to do with any of this? trust me, dust is bad. and the fan can cause interference (the white one) and the power supply doesn't have much area to blow hot air out.
