Just wondering if the below product ( with illustration ) is designed to expel most of the hot air out the back or leave it circulating in your case. I have a HP computer so I have to be careful about temps.

AFAIK only blower type cooler will let out all the hot air from the back. the one you mention will blow out some of the hot air from the back and the rest are circulated back into your case. so you have to make sure your case have good air flow to keep the ambient temperature low.

Here's a picture of my system.

Let me know if you think I should take it out.

Temps so far have been quite good on days not exceeding 34c forecast temps.
But on days like 37c, I choose not to use the computer much or have the sidepanel off

Gaming, HW Monitor reports tempin2 as being between 48c and 62c
All other temps are below 50c and hard drive barely hits 40c
My core temps on my cpu may hit 62c maximum while gaming. The psu always stays cool or just warm.

what do you mean by the 'take it out'?

btw to me 62c is quite hot for processor. what is your exact proc? the hard drive temp seems normal. you should tidy the wires in your case so it won't block the air flow
