I cool it with air (a dark rock pro 5), and it barely touches 90 degrees during a summer stress test, when the room temp is 30+. No complaints on the temperature.
My first unit was defective though. A single core had spikes at 105 degrees when all others were around 80. Intel recognized the defect and agreed to replace the unit.
Since then, no other issues with this CPU. Very satisfied overall.

To be honest, I have a 285k and I'm very satisfied with it. All this hatred regardless makes me laugh. Just enjoy it, especially at that price (which is kinda amazing for this CPU).

I used that space to route some cables actually. Also, I have the PSU switch on top, so I should account for that too. On the other hand, I've some free space behind the PSU, because of the shorter GPU. Small fans can fit there, but they'd fight with the PSU fan (which is turned inward as suggested by SGPC by the way, why did you turn it the other side?).

I also have a K49. Stuffing exhaust fans in it is nearly impossible. Maybe you can achieve something with those super small fans you put here and there where you have small patches left empty.
I'm curious to know if you can find something better though. Please, keep up updated!
