[SOLVED] Side panes causes way too much heat than without it

[99StefanRO]

I have a 1060 6gb installed and when playing PUBG, while the side panel on with 100% fan speedss, it reaches 72 degrees celsius, but when I take the side panel off it gets to 48 degrees. I have 2 front, intake fans installed and one exhale on the back. The sidepanel is closed, with no holes, it's just a metal sheet with plexiglass . I can not use a fan on the bottom of the case. Should I install 2 more exhale fans on top? 120mm ones.

What other components do you have in your case?
What case do you have?
What case fans do you have?

72ºC is fine btw.

THIS is the case.
I got a i5 7600 and HyperX Fury DDR4 memory, the main problem I think is the mobo, it's mATX and keeps my components tight.
The fans came with the case, just some 120mm fans.

I might try switching one of the intake fans to exhaust.

I can't.. they came along the case, preinstalled, kinda immovable..

Ah, I see the case now...yes, I would try a fan or two on the top. I have 2 front and 1 back/1 top on mine.

As was pointed out in the first reply, temperatures in the 70s are perfectly normal for a graphics card.

Large temp differences with the case panel on vs. off is an indication that you do not have optimal airflow inside the case, even if temps are within acceptable range. It just means it isn't as good as it could/should be.

Might want to try taping the top of the case shut so air coming in from the front has to go out the rear exhaust fan and GPU instead of escaping through the top without cooling anything.
