BitFenix Shinobi XL

I brought this case from ocuk but it rather very poor airflow indeed but I think I was the blame for mistake pick this case because I believe this case is more suitable to water cooling not for air cooler. I just kept it and will have to built water custom cooling soon when I get enough money.

My old Antec 1200 case:

System temp: 31C
Motherboard temp: 35C
CPU temp: 52C (overclocked under load 4.8GHz)

1 x 200mm fan (top) and 3 x 120mm (front) and 2 x 120mm (rear)

BitFenix Shinobi XL case:

System temp: 43C
Motherboard temp: 41C
CPU temp: 64C (overclocked under load 4.8GHz)

3 x 230mm fans (2 x 230mm at top and 1 x 230mm at front) 1 x 120mm at the rear

I'm not quite sure what the point of this thread is?

I always try and warn people when I recommend cases that the Shinobi XL doesn't have the greatest air flow out of the box, but you can improve it. If you got some solid 120mm, 'middle-grade' fans, something like the Akasa Apache Vipers, then you could improve performance. Put two in the front, 3 in the top, and 1 in the rear, and you should see a good improvement in airflow.

The 1200 isn't actually a bad case for airflow though, it's definitely near the upper end of the middle pack for air cooling.

What's the rest of the system though?

Those temps don't look too bad anyway.
