side door off, safe?

[xnikx]

Is it safe to have the side door of my comp off so i can have better air flow? Are there any dangers involved?

Depends. Do you have pets? Lots of crap on your desk that could get in? Do you have the dying urge to stick your finger in a running fan?

yes but ill only have the case open when im on , only wires around the case that cant get in, no but i have touched fans i cant see to test if there on i didnt really touched i more put the very tip of my finger and let it touch a little.

you might actually find that your airflow/case temps get worse rather than better...i did

QFT. If you're getting better temps with the case open, it means that your airflow isn't optimal.

maybe 4 - 5 degrees C higher with it on
