Hi guys
I am wondering what the minimum space for the top 200mm fan to do its job effectively.
I am have it on adjustable shelves at the moment the gap between the top of the fan and the next shelf above is a little over 6 inches I've included a photo.
thanks in advance guys
Jack

Hi Jack.

Basically as long as the fan grill area isn't covered you'll be fine.

6 inches is good, but for a fan that size, I'd recommend a gap the same size as the fan's width. So you're looking at around 8-9 inches for better efficiency.
