Just a quick question here:

Im using a Lian-Li PC-7 PLUS II Aluminium Midi-Tower Case ( https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-054-LL ) and it was sitting on a carpeted floor next to a radiator :P So i took the side panel off, cleaned the dust out and sat it on a window sill leaving the panel off so the cold air was pretty much going straight into the case.

Core temps are 35/36c on my slightly OC'ed E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz, basically, i was just wondering wether putting the side panel back on and keeping it near the cold air supply would be better than having the case open. Do you get negative pressue in PC cases? Ive never really thought about it, maybe someone knows.
