Are you sure you are getting that in the 3.5" drive stack ?

You should still get decent airflow in the 5" bay stack unless
you have a fan that blows over the drives in the 3.5" bay stack.

Havent noticed any and its hard see that its possible
given there is no space between the drive and the bay wall.
