Does GPU spacing matter if we’re undervolting anyways?

| | How close can GPU cards be to each other on the mobo to remain safe and keep the hardware healthy over time? I have 4x 5060ti16gb cards in my mobo (I know 5060ti’s are not ideal when it comes to bandwidth, but I found a few at a decent price so it felt worth it at the time). They do fit on my mobo, but they seem pretty close to each other. These GPUs are supposed to be pretty power efficient, but I’ll probably undervolt them a bit anyways to limit power consumption. No liquid cooling or anything else here, just case fans (10 fans here). Is this amount of spacing cause for alarm or might damage the components over time, or am I just overthinking all this?
