OK so I've bought a new PC, and I've upgraded it some, and the part that I've probably slacked on the most is the case, because I thought I didn't need anything cool, as I'm a performance first kinda guy, but that actually means that I have a case with no case fans and possibly pretty lame air flow.
I'm not the sickest OC'er or gamer in general, so I don't generate gratuitous amounts of heat, but I will get some, and I hear some noise. Now I should say that the Energon 550W is going to be replaced by a VX550 Corsair tomorrow, so that should probably help, but other than that I'd like to hear what I can do to keep noise at a minimum with this case (pics uploaded)
Basically there's a hole for the PSU and then one dotted grid where the rest of the case air can flow out through. Am I better off just taking the side of the case off?
I am very receptible to the "get a new case" argument, but I'd also like to hear, just for the concept of things, what can be done, so I can learn something and increase my understanding of this area, as it is a bit underprivileged in my computer-engineering knowledge.
The rest of the rig is most importantly: AMD FX 8120 CPU (with stock fan) and a HD 5670 also stock fan.
thank you
