Generally, the fans in the computer case form an airflow across things that need it when the case is shut. If the case is open, airflow takes the easiest path, and hot items mightn't get enough of a breeze over them for them to be adequately cooled. You can get the same situation when airflow is blocked by obstacles in the case (plug in cards, ribbon cables, etc.). Though, this is usually only a problem with things that are on the borderline of their heat tolerance. Things with (most likely, inadequate) passive heatsinks. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
