• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

Is this true from shuttles website

--Contrary to popular beliefs, the CPU, hard drive and mainboard temperatures are higher when the case is taken off of the XPC. Opening the case actually reduces the airflow through the case. The vents at the front of your XPC no longer take air in; therefore, the airflow around the PWM and MOSFET is significantly reduced. We recommend leaving the aluminum case closed on the XPC when in operation. This will improve the thermal dynamics of your XPC.
 
It most certainly is. It's a pretty well known fact that cooling down computer components using air isn't just simply fixing fans here there and everywhere.

However, do take it with a pinch of salt. Elements such as room temperature, component exposure etc can make a big difference.
