I taped over the top vents on my peecee to encourage better succing and pushing of air from my 2 fans
>intake fan on the front
>exhaust on the side panel
thoughts on this, robots? perhaps a thermal dynamics smarty pants will see this? (I know heat rises)
pic is my homemade I/O shield, back vent obviously not taped off (should it be?) scared to poast on /gee/

Stuff those unused ports full of tape so they don't leak air pressure.

I'll try this unless someone objects
Take out GPU for less heat production and take off CPU fan or AIO for less restriction of airflow.
Won't that just make your fans work harder?
Heat rises so you are losing heat by ambient convection regardless of airflow.

i dunno about this davy

>Won't that just make your fans work harder?
aw shit. TBh, the reason i originally taped off the top vents was so water wouldnt drop into it from a potted plant i put on top. I've still got a speaker and an external hdd on top right now, but only over one vent

With less fans, you'll have higher temps because of lowered airflow to cool your components.
TL;DR less fans = higher temps

What is it exactly you're trying to achieve with this setup?

less dust, more THRUST
Get a case with dust filters in the future
As soon as your PC turns off the dust will go into it anyway even if you had fans pushing the dust away while it's on

unless my case is destroyed, I will not be buying another.
>>38476081
Yeah, that's not how it works, buddy.
>not taping all vents and use the case as heat conductor
ah yes I forgot, the cpu fan blows out of the back vent. the 1st reply was trying to trick me!
>>38476245
you can probably get some kind of dust filter and ghetto rig it over the fan intakes then.
It's very possible that op could be /ourguy/
never actually read it
This is a gay aids butt cancer thread but let me tell you sum. Clean your computer and it will be cool. Replace the thermal paste on you cpu. Get it off the floor and put it on a nice clean desk. Check your white privilege

maybe
Replace the thermal paste on you cpu.
no
