The thermal performance is quite good, especially at this modest price point.

If you look at the difference in temperatures the processor dynamics only increased by 17 degrees. By comparison CPU temperatures in the Thermaltake Soprano Snow Edition rose by a full 20 degrees. The dual 120mm fans in the Corsair 200R do push a considerable amount of air.
