So, I've had this case for a while. It has always had an airflow problem due to the "DarkMirror" front panel. However, this didn't bother me because I wasn't doing anything terribly heavy. However, I just started folding (for the LTT team of course), and it gets pretty warm. If I take the front panel completely off, the CPU drops about 5°C or so. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on a easy-ish and not ugly way to get some more air through the front panel. All it has right now are these tiny holes on the side.
All in all my 2700x stays around 72°C under load with the front panel off, and around 78°C with it on (with no GPU load. It's higher with GPU under load by a bit). I'm using a Noctua NH-D15 (with just one of the fans because gotta have that RGB ram obv), so it shouldn't be a cooler issue. I also replaced the stock rear fan with a Noctua fan as well.
I realize this is pretty minor and doesn't matter too much, but quarantine is making me itchy to play with my PC and I don't wanna spend a bunch of money...right now.
