I screwed up and forgot about an exit shroud. long story short: is 7/16in enough clearance for a 120mmx120mmx38mm fan shroud or is it better to place the exit shroud right against the case and leave more room between the rad and the exit fan.

here is my setup:
Free Space |38mm fan1 |(7/16in[~11mm])| RAD | (7/16in[~11mm])| 38mm fan2 | (7/16in[~11mm]) | Wall

If this is not doable, I can switch out 25 mm fans for fan2. But that's produce offset airflow and probably be worse correct?

Let me know whatcha folks think.
Thanks
Edit: laugh, forgot to put and another set in there. probably how i screwed up in the first place.
