    I bought a case with enough GPU clearance, without realising the radiator for a liquid cooling kit I got was much thicker than standard (Arctic Freezer II), so I had to get a new case for that.

    It’s good practise to measure everything with measuring tape, I reckon.

    I’d be very nervous about those PSU cables right below the fan…

      Nah there’s plenty of room, I have a feeling the CPU cooler fans are pointing the wrong way though. Like you can just see the back ‘brace’ part of the left fan.

      Edit: Oh that top case fan is exhausting air before it’s really done anything too. OP the air comes out where the brace bits are, try and keep the air moving in one direction, e.g. intakes near the front, exhaust near the back.

        Also, ideally you want positive pressure inside the case. Like two fans pushing air in and just one pulling air out. This helps with dust build up.
