How's my Fan depth

Please take a look and tell me if this is acceptable or not. When using a 1/2" spacer, the fan blades are just over half way in the shroud. When using a 1" spacer, the fan blades are pretty much all the way in the shroud. I have not been able to source a 3/4" spacer, which I think woud put me in the sweet spot. Either way I have even spacing between fan blades and opening of shroud.

Re: How's my Fan depth

looks great to me, blade spacing to the shroud edge is great and its both inside and outside the shroud like it should be.

Re: How's my Fan depth

Yup, looks about perfect. I’ve been told the blades should be 1/2-3/4 IN the shroud. Yours looks perfect.

Matches OEM setups and matches what engineers want to see for depth. Looks good.
