This setup, with the motherboard and sideways PSU, is just like a Lian Li case I have.

I used a 53 W i3 with a big downdraft cooler, but I swapped the fan with a 150 mm and flipped it, so it was blowing "up" into the PSU. The PSU was a fanless model, so the CPU cooler fan was doing double-duty.

The case was a Lian Li PC-Q08B, in case anyone is curious. Long out of production, but Newegg's product listing page is still around:

The layout looks very similar to Silverstone SG13, except flipped on its side.
CPU hitting 94C means it is most likely throttling.

If they want to fix the heat issue, the PSU position should be changed to behind the mobo. The Bitfenix Prodigy (OG) layout.
Alternatively, in front of the mobo, although that might affect case dimensions and require a C13/14 extension cord.
