I am not messing with you. I just wouldn't set a system up like that. For instance, I wouldnt have a side fan, but ventilate front to back.
BUT. We do have some very good hardware members here, but some of them seem to be on holiday.
I would like their opions too !

It's easy enough (but time consuming), to try out different configurations until you get things running at their coolest.

No need. I can visualize your setup.
If you want to learn how to post an image, there are several tutorials here (Tutoturials on right hand side of main forum page).

As long as all your temperatures are OK, then no need to doubt.

It probably works in some setups, it's just that I prefer a blow through from front to back.
