CPU temps

Question:

Would leaving the side off my case keep my cpu cooler or would it better to leave the side on to increase the airflow?

if it has fans installed - it is better to leave it on. if not - take it off.

if you have some airflow just keep your side on it. Else the airflow will be fucked up.
