To keep side panel on or off?

[remo233]

So with the side panel on my temps are; gpu 74, vram temp 84-86 and hotspot 88-89

 

With side panel off: gpu 68-69, vram temp 76-78, hotspot 83

Side panel on. Those GPU temperatures are still within safe limits

How many fans are in your case?  How are they laid out?   Panel off shouldn't produce temps that different if you have good airflow thru the case.

I have a small case, airflow is not great. I have two fans in the front for intake and one at the top amd back for outtake. When I installed the gpu, there is little space between the bottom of the gpu and bottom of the case parts. The front of my case just has small cuts on the front sides for intake. I believe I need a better case.

oh ya thats a ship case... if you want to use a dremal you can try and fix it... but 74c is still not bad of temps could it be better ya like you found out but even realy good air flow case can get good temps drop with the side off so...

Your temps are fine. If they bother you, just leave the side off, try alerting the fan configuration and fan curves, get better fans, or get another case.

That is case dependent, I would say. Don't you think so?

I keep the side panel off and AIO radiator outside, nice and cool. Can't say recommended it but still...

GPU is cooler also in this mode.

Case if part of it, but fan config is the other.  it highlights that his case and/or airflow are not that good.

Does this chassis allow the removal of the front? What fans do you specifically have installed in the front?

I have two 120 mins fans installed in the front. I can pull the front off but there are wires connected so it cannot be taken off.

What are the specific fans?
