Is it bad to take the case off of my computer? I had a really loud case fan that I cleaned out and still it would buzz really loud, I took the case off then removed the LED Fan and the computer is a LOT quieter. It's also a bit cooler with the side of the case removed. The CPU fan makes a weird sound, it's quiet but a little annoying. It's like a really quiet buzz, it sometimes does it or doesn't, how do I go about fixing this? I removed the case and didn't have any compressed air (I hadn't removed any dust from the CPU fan in 2 years) so I just blew out a lot of dust and coughed a lot from that...
Also, I cannot put my CPU at the default 3.6GHz Clock speed or else it over-heats, I had to under-clock it to 2700MHz to keep it at a nice Temperature, it idles at about 45 - 50 Degrees Celsius. Without the side case it goes as low as 40 degrees Celsius sometimes. What has caused the CPU to over-heat? It never did before and it just degraded over time I guess for no reason.
Another thing, I removed the Heat-sink to clean it and didn't put any thermal paste back on, the Internet says I have to but nothing bad seems to be happening. Upon further inspection it seems my PSU is making a loud buzzing noise too, how can I stop it? It's really annoying me now... It doesn't do it until after a while of the computer been on.
Edit: I looked at the PSU and the fan is barely moving, is this normal? I couldn't tell you exactly how fast it's going, but I got concerned and put the extra fan underneath the PSU to act as its fan. Since I've done this the buzzing has calmed down.
