Ryan, how have you kept the fractal xl cool?

I was ment to say my R2

But i've got 2fractal 120's in the front (intake), and 2 in the top(exhaust). I've an old 120 in the bottom(intake), and the h50 with an Akasa Silent apache in the back(intake). Temps I have to say are pretty low

On a 'warm' day (about 20c), cpu & gpu are about 30c.
Gpu has never rose past 60

Mind, the SSD thinks its 130c since it's a little *******

Heh, had a second hand one be delivered to me. Screws missing, mobo plate gone and dust/hairs inside. OcUK kindly managed to get a new one shipped today and at my house tommorow. Hoping this one hasn't been opened yet.

Mobo plate? If you're talking about the back plate that doesn't come with cases.

It's a bit bad if it was opening (and/or used), but what do you mean by the motherboard plate?

I received the new case yesterday, and the packaging was much more sensible!

I was more surprised that someone had the sense to get the courier to collect the old one at the same time. A lot of places get different couriers to do that.
