Just wondering if turning off the fans while my pc is idle would cause anything to overheat?

cpu + gpu fan would remain running and they are silent at idle anyway
but with the case fans being filtered they produce a bit of noise..

this is mostly wanted for when i download overnight or something
 
yeah i might give it a go one night then, even with no real airflow the temps surely wouldnt get too high while idle anyway would they?
 
no overclock on anything
running haswell i5 4670k

and no its not loud at all really, got my fans at 600-700 rpm
its more just a case of preferring silence when sleeping, im a pretty light sleeper so doesnt take much to wake me up

probably just one of them things i will have to deal with as id rather not risk it then
