Thanks for the extra pics!Technically the case should be cooler inside, as you say the hotter air of the CPU is being exhausted directly outside the case so you see zero heat recirculation from the CPU.However, the downside to setting the side fan as an exhaust is that it pulls some of the warm exhaust air from the GPU into the case and across the motherboard. This is likely why your M.2 Drive is running warmer.On the upside the negative pressure will be aiding the GPU fan pull air into its heatsink through your GPU dust filter, so you will probably find your GPU is now running a bit cooler during gaming aswell.
