Hi everyone,
I bought a Corsair Carbide air 840 a while ago as I wanted the temps down on my 7990. It hasn't actually helped much from my last mid-case, only bringing temps down by 2-3C...
I put this down to the side panel on this case, it is a window with no air escape areas.
With the side panel off it is better but this isn't a good solution. In the heat we have had lately it is quite bad with the side on. I do have fans attached to all the front and top areas.
My question is, can you buy spare side panels which have vents or with a bit cut out where you can add a fan to extract? I know I could do it myself but I don't really want to hack at the side panel and would rather buy a custom side panel.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
