These results where right where I expected them, with a little surprise on the hard drive temperature, where it outperformed both comparison cases. I didn't expect this due to the appearance of the front bezel; there isn't any perforations in the plastic and only a little bit of perforation between the blue accent and the plastic area, as noted in the Closer Look pages. I didn't expect a lot of air to flow through the small surface area of the opening for the front 120mm intake. The higher chipset temperatures are most likely due to the lower position of the side panel fan, which didn't push enough air over the chipset heatsink.
