This is the best way to ruin airflow through your case.

If you're getting these temperatures in this abnormal setup, then there's your explanation.

When measuring temperatures, you need to do it with all of the components in their nominal state, i.e., with the case closed and standing how it normally would be. If you don't do that, you are measuring something that is not useful.
