    Marius, I think we have your problem here.

    By inserting air directly to the CPU, you create a short circuit.
    The air goes through your CPU heatsink, and most of it disapears into the PSU inlet and gets expelled.
    The volume of air removed by PSU will almost be equal to the volume of air inserted by the case fan in the side panel.
    This way the air in the bottom half isn't refreshed, and gets heated more and more.

    Is there a way to lower the RPM of the case fan?
    If so, try to set it as low as possible.

    Then add a low revving fan in the front of your case (low down)

    Edit: corrected typo

    Nice Voltages.

    Dont know what that VIN2 is, but the rest look fine, nice 12V line, 11.98....

    Also, as for the 39C temperature, thats usually your Case temp, but if thats the case then you have a very hot case, and need better fan management. My case is 29C right now....

    Can you get us a picture of your case?

    So we can help you assess proper placement, and orientation of them.

    its actually good, because the voltages usually arent exactly right on what they are supposed to be. being only .02 off is actually really good.
