Accidentally left top case cover on

[testies789]

Basically I left the top case cover on for only 30 minutes.

I have the airflow on my pc set as intake from the front and outtake from the back and top, I have a 360mm water cooling System, cpu cooler with radiator, 3 120mm fans at the top.

I only just built the pc so am kinda worried I could have damaged something, should I not be worried as the cover was only on for 30 minutes?

Probably not many of you dumb enough to have experienced this, hopefully people will just post to tell me to stop whinging, it's fine.

I don't get what you mean, but if it's running than you didn't break it.

A computer is just fine running on teh table with no case at all, so long as you don;t spill anything on it. No worries.

Not sure what you mean by you left the case cover on, your supposed to have the case covers on a case.
If you need to take the cover off on your rig in order for it to not overheat then you either need more cooling or a better case.

This is my case - https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Graphite-760T-Tower-Windowed/dp/B00P7TPYDM/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1477580088&sr=8-2-fkmr1&keywords=pc+case+760t+v2

Picture 4 and 5, basically I forgot to take the top cover off for 30 mins.

Read the OP to see how I have my airflow.

I'm probably just being a girl about it but it's my new build.

That cover is completly optional. No worries.

Yea it's optional but isn't it dependant on how you have your airflow? Since my cpu coolers fans are outtake and fitted at the top wouldn't that mean no warm air is being sucked out if the cover is on?

No. The air going in from teh other fans will find it's way out.

Your airflow wont have been as good, but it wont have killed your rig, dont worry about that.

Likely if its a full system watercool your GPU will have thermal throttled, but your CPU (unless you were benchmarking?) will have been fine.
