if it needs the side of the case off, it's a shit case

proper cases are designed with internal airflow in mind, so removing the side will make it run hotter as it disrupts the all important airflow

mine's not all that high spec, but fook me does it run hot had to relocate the case, as it was stuffed in the corner n kept overheating. now its situated with good clearance and it runs ok

cooling wont work properly with the side off either, and dust buildup increases the heat
