Hey everyone! Im new here but been lurking trying to find an answer to my question. No luck though so i'll ask;
Im doing a build in the NZXT H6 Flow. The bottom has a cutout fitting 2x140mm that mounts flush to the meshbottom.

My question is if elevating the fans 10-20mm with plastic risers or a plasticframe would negatively impact the airflow?

Thank you!

when flush;
cool air directly from the outside is being pulled in.

when lifted;
some inside air is being recycled through the fans.

why do you want to lift them away from the floor?
Yea I figured something like that might happen. Wonder how much of a difference it makes :unsure:

The reason is I really like the Lian Li SL INF reverse blades and would be cool to see the entire fan.
Havent decided on which fans to use yet
