As you can see, my cpu cooler is a coolermaster i70, rear fan is a thermaltake generic exhaust fan i got with my v100 case. But i feel it's like really tight, like really. I still have a return window on the cooler so if you guys feel like this might not be good in the long run or as of now, please do tell so and i will get myself an antec a30(i know it's not great but it's what my budget will allow me) Thanks as always you guys

That placement seems normal, for a more compact case. The A30 I would say is a better cooler, though.
Hmm,well i have around 9 more days i think remaining in the return window, however i will do a stress test first, any programs i should try. Nothing gpu related though, using a gt 210 as a display adapter for now. Cpu is a xeon e3 1230 v2 by the way. Gonna disable thermal throttling in the bios after i boot my machine up. Cinebench r15 a good test? Can't do r20 due to some reason but don't remember. Is it fine if i run the temps by you after i do so? And oh any other programs i should run?
