How much clearance should I leave around my PC case for proper airflow?

As a general guideline, leave approximately 

 of open space around the case’s main intake and exhaust areas. This usually includes:

The required clearance depends on the case layout and the amount of heat produced by the system. A high-performance graphics card, a top-mounted radiator, or several exhaust fans may require additional open space.

Do not place the case directly against a wall, cabinet door, desk panel, or another object that blocks an airflow opening. If the case has a bottom intake or a bottom-mounted power supply, place it on a firm, flat surface instead of thick carpet.

When placing the computer inside a desk compartment or cabinet, make sure the compartment has open ventilation at both the front and rear so that cool air can enter and hot air can escape.

If fan noise or component temperatures increase during extended use, move the case farther away from nearby surfaces and check whether any vents are obstructed.
