Thermaltake makes a case where you can position the cooler for rear intake. Since I have a cheap mid-tower case I went with their preferred method as seen above.

While my case isn’t perfect I am holding the following stats from lm_sensors:

fan1: 612 RPM (min = 10 RPM) ALARM fan2: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) fan3: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) temp1: +44°C (low = +127°C, high = +127°C) sensor = thermistor temp2: +34°C (low = +127°C, high = +70°C) sensor = diode temp3: -2°C (low = +127°C, high = +127°C) sensor = thermistor vid: +0.000 V

coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter temp1: +40°C (high = +85°C)

coretemp-isa-0001 Adapter: ISA adapter temp1: +37°C (high = +85°C)

This is actually higher than it was in the summer when I was running without the side panel on. I’ve been meaning to check out airflow for awhile now, but I haven’t. Without the case panel on I was as low as 23 degrees and the fan was running at 350rpm or so.
