[quote="Simo Häyhä":5e297]joe, i hear the dumbest thing you can do is open your case to your computer..never open your case to your computer, that will make your fan work harder, and thus make your computer even hotter[/quote:5e297]

Nope, not true. Its all about air flow and if you have a big table fan blowing on your open pc, you have plenty of airflow. My pc runs about 8 C cooler with the cse open. The real problem is dust and other garbage. I run my processor slower (but still overclocked) so I can keep it closed and quiet.

Joe - I saw those ac coolers for around $650. Watercooling, done properly, runs about $300, but that is cpu, gpu and ram all hooked up to the cooling system.
