[USER=206]@Kmpkt[/USER] How much space could you advise as a minimum to leave next to the heatsink? It got fairly hot to the touch when using the PC on an open bench last night, and currently it's almost touching the motherboard. I'm worried about it getting hot enough to radiate heat and damage the board, does it get that toasty under load?


I can shift it back maybe 1-2 more mm....if I mounted it angled, outwards at the bottom and leaning inwards at the top, I could probably get that gap up to 3-4mm. It'll have exhaust air from the cpu hitting it and going up that gap, whatever the final size of it is.


Any thoughts :)
