The indicator on the fan frame faces the rear exhaust. Unless your setup has unfiltered air intakes and a lot of dust or pet hair, it’s better to push from the other side since the rear exhaust will pull effectively. Also, I realized the fan only reaches up to 1800 RPM max.
I replaced the cooler entirely and repositioned the CPU. The problem continues. I also attempted to move the fan to the opposite side to improve airflow into the fins. I realized that only the first two cores operate above 90 degrees, while the third stays below 80 degrees. What steps can I take to better understand the issue?
It seems you're thinking about removing the CPU's protective cover.
