Fan Mounting
The fan will be supported from above by three standoffs using the existing fan mount points. I trimmed down standoffs to size. The holes in the fan mounts also needed to be widened slightly to accept M3 screws.
Temps
I have run the computer for several days without issues, the fans is mostly inaudible except for brief periods where it spins up, After running "CPU Test" stress test for half an hour temperatures settle around 65 degrees (25 degree air temp). I am assuming this is OK?
I am thinking that once the computer is mounted vertically temps will come down, also with a few bios adjustments i can reduce the noise, at the expense of higher temps.
