the top one is a dual fanned psu exhaust, the middle is an empty slot, and the bottom is an exhuast. Am i disrupting the airflow by not covering the middle slot? i have only 1 side intake, no front.
 
Dude, that pic needs to be resized...bad! I dont think it would matter much if you covered it up.
 
you i cant really tell what the picture is because it is soo damn big. resize it you lazy bastard
 
i know i know, but i don't got the tools to take it off.

-right now i got a piece of paper tapped onto the middle slot to see if it helps... so far i don't think things changed a bit
 
Hot air is gonna be drawn into the area regardless since there's fans pulling it that way above and below the vent... Might as well leave it open, can't really hurt.
 
hmm i don't think temps changed one bit, but i'm just gonna block it to reduce dust build up
 
well again, if hot air moves to cold places, wouldn't that mean hot air will move out of the case? my ambient is 5 degrees cooler
