If it can power this stupid video card, then I'm sure it's a bad sensor, but I do plan to buy a new PSU soon.

Also the fan RPM sensors are really funny too, sometimes I get things like -1,223,543,765,786,766 RPM and so on.

That means it's going backwards - very, very quickly ^^

Removing the side panel completely destroys this intake/outtake pressure system, and can severely damage components because of stagnant hot air build up occurring.

On the contrary. It will not hurt any damn components unless your running a very very high end system. If a persons case is running way to hot they can remove the side panel to relieve the pressure. Just FYI I have a PC thats been running for more than 5 yrs straight with the side off with no ill effects. I suggest you learn a little more before you spread the wrong kind of hysterias and misconceptions. Ive been working on PC's for over 28 yrs.

Lol, I only wish. Would be amusing to see a fan wig out at super high speeds.

Also my other computer has no side panel, but it does just fine right now. *It's not a high end system*. But if it did have one, I would use it - just to hide the wiring.

I get weirdness with fan sensing too, in a way. Such as how Everest reports my cpu fan as a case fan and chipset fan as my power supply fan.

Maybe because you have the CPU fan plugged into a case fan connector and the chipset fan plugged into a power supply fan connector!

It's mobo design
