Have been reading this thread quite a bit so decided to join.

Recently finished by first SG13 build and mostly happy with it - Specs below:

i7 11700 non K
Asrock H570M Mini ITX
32gb Vengence LPX DDR4 3000MHz
SF750 80 Plus Platinum SFX PSU W/Silverstone Offset Bracket and fan pointing down to CPU to exhaust the air being blown to it
1TB Sabrent Rocket 4.0 M.2
WD Blue SN550 1TB M.2
Noctua NF-A9 x 14 92mm Rear Vent Fan (Exhaust - Although only getting half the airflow as it interferes with the heatsink pipes on cooler so cannot mount it as low as it needs for full effect)
Noctua NF-S12A 120mm Front Fan - Intake
Noctua NH-L12S CPU Cooler - Exhaust (Pulling air from motherboard)
Pallit GTX970

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fit a side fan whilst using a Noctua L12S cooler? Those heatpipes are only letting me use half the fan been thinking about cutting the case around that area but not sure on best way to put it back together.

I mounted my side fan on the outside attached to the case lid and ran the power wire for it around and in the back of the case. . It does make it a bit annoying to remove the case lid but hopefully you will not be doing it that often.

As usual I overthink things, This is a quality idea thanks will test this out at weekend when home.

Could I ask for a couple of photos if you have any, Just to see its setup?
