Hello

I have Cooler Master HAF XM with window side panel , and I wonder if its possible to order somewhere non windowed side panel for same case with fan.

Also another question , I have my case on the table so I can sort of look into the machine and it is very close , but I wonder if through the side panel window arent coming some kind of rays or shit which can affect human health condition. What do you guys think?

Do you guys have PC near you at the table or do you keep your PC on the ground or in the distance?

PC runs on an average temperature of 40 C on idle, and probably 70 C under load with stock cooler and average air flow, that is not even hot even to boil water. The heat that a PC produce is no different from the heat generated by a car engine. Not gonna hurt you unless you touch it.

Some windows are fan slotted for those who feel either the need to cool off hot running gpus or need additional intake and would like to also see the work they put into a computer build. Some windows are not vented, the case manufacturer feeling any necessary intake is already supplied.
Side panels are the same.

Heat is a personal issue. No 2 people have the exact same build, run the exact same software with the exact same room temp and exact same fan speeds etc. Manufacturers take all that into consideration and design cases accordingly. Changing from a fanless window, to a vented side panel realistically won't change your computers heat in the slightest. Only the actual addition of the fan(s) will, used as exhaust or intake, depending on build circumstances. You'll still run the same software, in the same room, with the same build, and if your computer had no cooling issues before, swapping out a panel won't change that, unless you add a fan(s).

Basically, its your decision to make. Do you like the window, or the plain panel more, and do you feel like you need more airflow in your case, or not.

Well heat is ok so far , but when played some games bottom card ( got 2 sli cards ) had 20 celsius degrees more than the card above , so I was thinking maybe the side fan would be better.
