Nice research fagget. Get pwned.

>not using the stock cooler

>not cutting the top off the heatsink
>or a hole in the side panel

you not allowed to use power tools or something?

Engineer your own panel! Your the captain of this ship!

If its only centimeter, bend the fucking side panel. If more, cut a hole for it, if you dont want to expose the side open.
Best solution is to get a decent case that can accomolade any huge heatsink.

Get physical with the side panel until it complies with your demands.

They're super weak. You can stop one with your nutsack and be fine.

Depending on which manufacturer, its really hard to cut and draw blood, unless you are trying to do it.

Unless you sharpen the blades or have a metal one its not likely a standard 120mm fan would harm you.even if you ate it while in operation.

Dust

You just have to clean it more often, if your PC has poor air flow then I would advise you to leave the panel off for lower temps, I have one PC that I have removed both panels and the top so I could install more fans for a higher overclock.

The cat could get in.
You could kick the heatsink and damage the motherboard.

Most manufacturers prepare for this and make their heat sinks like a spring, check yours and see if it has spaces between the metal, if so you are in luck.

Set your heat sink CPU side down place a book above it and gently hammer it down to fill in the extra space and to reduce the size. Be sure to use a book so it will flatten evenly and you do not damage the metal. Then use alcohol to clean the CPU side.
Good Luck
