Hello again,
I have had an epiphany in the form of a mATX case supporting a 240mm AIO/Rad mounted in front of the motherboard. My problem: the sides of the radiator protruding out past the fins and fans overlap with a front mount SFX PSU, which is the only spot where it'll fit. I have a 30mm gap between the bracket I'm using, and the PSU's side. How much space do I really need?
