Your cpu fan is crooked.

Make it straight.

Make your exaust fan exaust heat instead of taking air in.

Do you have an intake fan?

Turn the fan back around.

That was a silly thing to do.

That's the way it mounts.

 

@JelleDekkers Test the temps and see how it goes.

Warm air rises so you should have your top back fan as an exhaust. Of course you can always put a temperature probe inside an see the difference but from my personal experience it is better to pull air out of the top and push air in in the bottom. Again, warm air rising to the top and thus getting exhausted.

He's probably got a top mounted power supply taking out hot air.

The Picture is just up side down. There is a top, rear fan right at the CPU cooler. And if you look between the two fans you can see the metal case. Ofc it could be a separation and the PSU could sit on top but I feel like his PSU is mounted in the bottom of the case. If I am missing something please tell me and i will stop looking like an Idiot :P

I think his computer is just set up in that orientation like many consumer PC's. I had a dell xps 630i and it was mounted in this configuration with the cpu on the bottom.

The fans you see in the picture are the only fans in the system.

So no intake at the front.

Yes.

But it doesn't need good cooling, it's a really bad PC.

Hahaha ok :)

In that it case I guess it doesn't really matter. I would use it as an exhaust instead of intake just to get the air out of there since you don't really have air flow in the common sense anyway.

I'll just check the temps this afternoon.

Off topic:

Is my English good?

I need a new PC.
