Best cooling method is open your case door and let free air hit it. You will want a room thats not above 76. gl

instead of getting hot and trapping the heat inside the case... thx, gl:)

I really like keeping my head submerged in cold water to save money on electricity in summer.

Actually thought about trying that with a 4" duct from central air directly in front of the intake fan. Maybe this summer...gotta make sure the wife won't switch it to "heat" on a cold day.

I saw this in the hardforum mods section. Someone made a cardboard duct from the ground to feed the AC right into the front of his case. Best ghetto mod ever.

All joking aside, as much as some components may benefit from direct access to the outside environment (CPU and GPU), other components may be hurt by the lack of pressured airflow (NB SB VRM hard drives).

To me it doesn't matter as I want the noise dampening of the case panel.
