The CM Storm Enforcer has a traditional cooling layout mapped out. A front intake fan and a rear exhaust. The front intake has a slight advantage over many cases due to its size being 200mm. Larger fans can push more air and are generally quieter. The Enforcer is poised to deliver good thermal performance, lets get started.

To discover the thermal performance of the CM Storm Enforcer I will record idle temperatures after 20 minutes from a cold boot. I will then stress the system and temperatures will again be monitored after 30 minutes have elapsed. NOTE: HDD cage has been removed for the thermal tests, in order to reduce the obstruction of airflow from the 200mm fan at the front.

CM Storm's Enforcer does well in the thermal tests, it may not be the best case for cooling but its still a contender. You have to remember that some of the cases in our thermal database have more fans, bigger rear exhausts, top mounted fan configurations etc.
