Hello,i just got the corsair a70 installed in my nzxt apollo case but now when i went to close the side panel it hits the side fan and i have to force it to close,its stable and ran it all day and its keeping my cpu 10c cooler than the stock heatsink.should i be worried? would the pressure from the side fan affect corsair a70.

Personally i'd remove the side fan.
But that's your call!

Another vote for removing the side fan to keep the CPU 10C cooler.
Check without the side fan - I doubt you'll notice much difference.

It looks like you can move the side fan and use it in the lower front part of your case.

You might check and see if you can trim some of the fan shroud from the area where it touches the cooler.
Or look into a low profile fan.

yeah i was checking out the Scythe Slip Stream Slim 120x120x12mm 2000RPM Fan 45.47 CFM. but gonna try to take off some of the shroud and see how that works.oh and by the way the gtx 480 has the zalman cooler on it which the side fan helps get nice cold air too if only this case had more exhaust fans
