Think I'm Going Water

I had a side fan on my old Antec 1200 and it didnt do anything apart from attract dust. I would say times have moved on since side fans, a normal 1200rpm fan i reckon 1 degree difference. Then if your Ambient temps are higher due to weather etc it wont make any difference. Waste of time side fans are. If you want good cooling either go 3rd party cooler or water.
