I'm just wondering if it would be better to have my system in a case, or without a case laying naked on my desk. I don't mind doing it this way, I just want what will give me the most performance and least heat. Since when it's naked the motherboard is laying flat and CPU fan blows straight upwards, will this result in cooler temps for the CPU and GPU's?
