I currently have a powercolor HD7870 Vortex II edition and I am planning on getting another of the same model. I will likely reduce the clock speed and V to get better temps, I dont wanna fry my GPU's.

One thing I want to get is a fan on the bottom of my case, however after installing my AX860 it slightly hangs over the holes for the 120mm fan screw holes :( 

Here are pics

Any advice appreciated, also if I need to use a different site for hosting pics that will be appreciated too, THANKS!

Yeah, I can't see the pics. I need "Permission" to view them. You could try imgur.

As for the solution, I've always had luck jury rigging my casefans with zip-ties. Haven't had a problem so far!

looks like it has holes for a 80mm fan, just use one of those and it should be fine

I guess I could, I already had an 80mm fan and it just felt like it did nothing compared to 120mm one :/

From the pics u might be able to file down a 120 a little and line it up or small zip ties could work if u really want to run a 120

Filing down actually would be a good solution, since it moves the center of the fan closer to the center of the hole.
