you want to have more intake then exhaust, make the side fans intake

spring valley

#

you want to leave it on so not that much dust comes in. and follow the recommendation from guid you want to have positive pressure/ more intake than exhaust

spring valley
onyx nebula
#

99% of all people have the side panel on 😄

distant fable
#

no real reason to leave it off

#

youll just make ur life harder lol

spring valley
#

😭

#

ok ig

onyx nebula
#

why do you want it off so bad?

spring valley
#

was just being lazy lol to not change the fans

#

i keep the pannel off on my other one cuz no dust there

#

but maybe i shouldnt

onyx nebula
#

i mean

#

why would you take it off instead of having it on kek

spring valley
#

brighter + ig better cooling idk lol

#

mmore air

onyx nebula
#

first of all nothing can randomly fall in. idk with the brighter but you will also hear it more

spring valley
#

im just being dumb

#

i use noise cancel headphones so idm soung but true ig better safe than sorry

onyx nebula
#

nah youre fine but it would be better to have it on

spring valley
#

yeahh ig i will leave it on

#

flip the top fans cuz theyre easier

#

dont wanna move the rad

onyx nebula
#

hold on what do you mean with flip the top fans

spring valley
#

from exhaust to instakes

#

i had the rad and top be exhaust

#

bottom intake

onyx nebula
#

hold on

#

bottom and front ( or side in some cases ) are set to intake

#

top and rear are set to exhaust

#

thats the best airflow

#

and you always want ca 1 more intake than exhaust

#

so you get positive pressure

spring valley
#

hidethepain ig i have to remove the rad then

onyx nebula
#

why?

spring valley
#

for the fans since u said front should be intake too

onyx nebula
#

wheres your radiator rn?

spring valley
#

ig front back? in the o11

#

like besides the mobo

onyx nebula
#

right side?

spring valley
#

yeah

onyx nebula
#

and the fans are set to exhaust?

spring valley
#

yeah

onyx nebula
#

you can just remove the fans, flip them and put them back on

spring valley
#

oh ig yeah

#

the rad is screwed on the back

onyx nebula
#

i mean if you can get to all the screws for the fans then you could try to unscrew them without removing the rad

spring valley
#

yeah ig ill try

onyx nebula
#

turn your pc off first pls 😄

#

otherwise you will be bright

spring valley
#

oh yeah dw ill do that

visual light
# spring valley brighter + ig better cooling idk lol

Some people have open air builds for this very reason (partly)

I have a 12 year old shit rig that's barely staying alive, and I keep the side panel off otherwise the fans go crazy.

But for any PC that doesn't need it, I'd keep the panel on. I mean at that point if you really don't care about noise or dust, just get an open air case!
