hi all.
screen are made to be use in a vertical mode, to have a natural cooling.
when use in vertical mode, there is two major overheating issue...for the electronic card, and for the screen...
to avoid that, i've add three fan.
two on main power supply and the backlight hignt voltage converter, and one between the screen and the pinball glass..
the temp measures are very very very different....
enjoy...

I like the cooling, but since the screens are generally installed at an angle, shouldn't you be pushing the hot air uphill instead of downhill?

yes, due a very poor angle and because i've got a freshair holes behind my fan, and another one behind the coindoor to push outside.that's depend how you have done your internal air circuit.
