Mugen is not really designed for a passive/fanless usage. Perhaps Shinigami can help you out.

Regarding the very tight fins of Mugen compared to Ninja even in a case with quite good airflow passively using Mugen could fail. So you should use Mugen with a fan in any way.

As far as I can see on the pictures at Asus.com the fan should clear the appropriate heatpipe of the motherboard when attached correctly with the supplied fan clips. Could you post a picture with fan installed (or nearly installed)?
