As long as your CPU and GPU aren't getting too hot, you should be fine and it shouldn't really matter. Download Speed Fan :http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php or another similar program to monitor your temps and let me know how hot it is.

Actually, the one on the side is the exhaust - warm air should be blowing out of it. Nothing to be concerned about as long as you can feel warm air from 3-4" away from the side fan - means it's working good.
