What would have a lower cpu temp?
1. Case door closed, high power overclocking cpu fan.
2. Case door open, quiet less powerful cpu fan.
I keep the the case door shut- but I noticed that opening it lowers the core temp ~5 degrees. I can keep oc'ing because the temp is lower. Would getting a better fan have the same impact? Right now I have an xp-90, as5, and a vantec stealth fan.
Trying to figure out if I should get a beefier cpu fan because core temp is holding back my oc. The new fan will have to "worth" ~5 dgrees.
