The trouble is the cpu cooler I think. When I put my hand in front of the fan, it actually blows on my hand! Most of not all of the air is supposed to be pushed through the pins of the heatsink, but not in this case. I suspect the mounting mechanism (despite being very solid overall) is a bit shitty in this regard. And no, I attached the fan in correct way
I was thinking about buying 140mm fan to mount on the upper side, but I am not sure how would it help the airflow as the cpu cooler is pretty much right below the PSU. It's also pretty close to the rear fan, so it should work well in theory, but sadly it doesn't
edit: taking side off indeed lowers the temps by about 5°, but that's not the solution I want.
I also do not use the front fan as experiments showed absolute zero difference in temps.
