I'm ordering a 30mm CPU Shroud to be used with a Noctua NH-L9x65.
The case I'm using has 110mm clearance, but because of my mobo choice (Asus z690i) I can't fit a NH-L12S.
I'm also adding a 25mm Noctua fan replacing the 14mm that comes with the NH-L9x65.
Total height with 25mm fan will be 76mm, plus the 30mm shroud puts me at 106mm, leaving me with 4mm clearance to the side panel.
Questions:
1) Is 4mm too close, or is that fine?
2) The seller I'm ordering from allows you to specify the fan side and the other side. So the fan side is 92mm, but should the other side also be 92mm or should I have something larger like 120mm or 140mm?
Thanks.
