I've recently built a new system. After playing games for a while, the cpu is getting up to 57 degrees, so I'm resorting to taking off the side of the case- it then cools to a more reasonable sub-50 degree temperature (usually 47ish).
At the moment, I have no case fans. I have the standard chipset fan, CPU fan, PSU fan, and graphics card fan, that's it. And to be honest, its already sounding like a tornado, especially with the side of the case off. I really dont want to have to buy a new case with even more fans, more expense and more noise.
So any other suggestions for cooling without adding more fans. Or am I just stuck with leaving the case cover off.
