BitFenix Shinobi XL Chassis Review

Simon Telford May 18, 2012 Cases, Featured Announcement

Today’s test system will give us a good idea of how well this case works in terms of thermal and acoustic performance.

Processor: AMD Phenom X4 965 Black Edition @ 3.9 GHz.
Motherboard: ASUS M4A785TD- M Evo
Cooler: Akasa Venom Voodoo CPU Cooler
Memory: 4GB Corsair DDR3 1600MHz
Graphics Cards: AMD Radeon 6450 HD (GPU @ 850 MHZ, Memory Clock @ 1000 MHz)
Power Supply: Akasa Venom Power 750W
Boot Drive: OCZ Vertex II 60GB SSD (OS only)

OS: Windows 7 Home Edition 64bit
Digital Sound Level Noise Decibel Meter Style 2

Firstly, we are using the stock fan configuration, which includes 2*230mm and 1*120mm fans as well as the power supply intake and exhaust. Fully kitted out you can fit 3*230mm fans , 1*140mm and 2*120mm fans into this case, or an impressive 9*120mm fans.

The 2*230mm fans clearly seem to be doing the trick in keeping our components cool – this performance is very impressive, and is very competitive with other larger cases.

Fallout 4 Anniversary

Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition announced for all systems (including Switch 2)

Just under 10 years ago, Fallout 4 officially released to the world. While the game is far from perfect, it resonated with millions thanks to its sandbox-like design and focus on exploration among other ancillary additions (such as the settlement mechanic and base building). As they have done with many of their previous games, Bethesda has now officially announced Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition – bundling the base game alongside its DLC and hundreds of user-created mods.

    I never really liked the look of their cases if I was being honest, very plasticky looking.
