Phantom case CPU temp

Description
Largely improved cooling from my Storm Scout case...before...I usually get 30-33 degrees Celsius average on idle CPU while it never exceeded 60 when under load....but seeing numbers below 30 degrees in idle just makes things more comfortable to leave on all day :3
I'm gonna get along with this Phantom just fine for probably a lifetime!
Not bad! My CPU is usually about 30 idle and about 40-50 under load, but I got an zalmen CPU cooler and my case is okay, there are better cases out there but they tend to cost a little more then I'm willing to pay for a case. Also my CPU is a fx-8120 oc to 4500MHz. Sorry if this is a terribly written comment, but I'm trying to keep it short and not posting something extremely tech and long.
Hehe, no problem man :D I got this case for $119 at Newegg.com
Completely worth it compared to other full towers that ranged beyond $150 to $300+. I'm satisfied with cooling with this case and the cable management was one of the main reason I switched from the CM Storm Scout to this.
