How much fan clearance do Noctua Fans need?

 

The space between the fan and PSU seems quite close.

Thanks let me know if I said something useful. Cheers!

It's not ideal for airflow, but it's not catastrophic or anything like that.

I was thinking the same thing.  It is dual intake on the top, psu intake front with rear exhaust.

Just check the temps :D 
If the temps are fine, then there isn't anything to worry about, right? :) 

I am honestly looking for an excuse to get a smaller cooler or try the wraith spire.  Wriath or Noctua nh-d14 lol

It would just be for aesthetics in that case. A bit more breathing room isn't going to make as much of a difference as a drastically worse cooler.
