is this what your thinking, or you know for sure? because to me, it doesnt make any sense at all. it sounds like your saying i might as well have pulsating fan that turns on every ** amount of seconds so air can "sit" in my case to cool. and with my open front, do you mean my front fan intake? with the air coming from that and my side fan it is lifting and cooling all parts of my case/mobo/hardware. so i am reallllllly confused. any sources on your explanation?
