Will it fit - 9070 XT red Devil with my equipment on a GIGABYTE X870E AORUS Elite MB?

Hello,

It has been a long time since I built a system and I'm not as confident as I used to be. My case has tons of width - nearly 15" free for a long video card.

My issue is the space above and below the motherboard. The dimensions don't tell me how much is above the PCIe blade or how much is below. 340mm*132mm*69mm

Also with the part above will it have clearance of the tall nvme radiator over the primary hard drive?

I have nearly 2.6" below the middle of the PCIe slot before you'd touch that fan at the bottom of the picture.

The nvme heatsink should be a non-issue. I have a couple gigabyte motherboards with that tall heatsink and its never even crossed my mind as a compatibility issue with the GPU - I have installed and removed it numerous times with the GPU in place.

As for your lower fan, well according to the spec, its a 3 slot card so youre going to be really, really darn close. Might even be touching the fan. What do you have the fan placed there to cool, and can it be removed or placed elsewhere?

Thanks - so it actually fit with room to spare. I haven't actually used it yet as I need a few 8 pin connectors unless I want them ridiculously tight (which I don't)
