This is may not be effective with some case designs, the RPC included. With
the case closed as designed, the fan created a small but contant air flow
over the components to remove the heat they generate. When the case is open
there may not be any airflow over some components so cooling less efficent
and their temperature can rise significantly, even though the overall
temperature within the case is lower.

That on the other hand is guarenteed to raise temperatures to dangerous
levels, and should only be attempted by skilled professionals ;-)
