General small case question - how much space does a GPU fan need?

Post Body

Hi, hope it's okay to ask this here, but on a lot of the pictures I see of people's builds the GPU's fan-side face has only a centimetre or so of clearance between it and the case wall, PSU or shroud. I'm assuming this is enough space for airflow to work or else people wouldn't be doing it, but what's the minimum space that you really need in order to not limit the GPU's operating ability? And on a semi-related note, if your mobo has a slot on the fan-side of the GPU and you wanted to put a full-height card in it, would this also allow enough space for airflow or would you need to go for something low profile?
