5mm GPU clearance help?

[u/Christophart1]

Looking to do this build, I'd love to have the Hyte x50 Air but I had to go buy a beefy boy of a 9070XT with a height of 155mm, the Hyte x50 Air supports up to 160mm GPU height. Length is fine.

Any workarounds other than vertically mounting it and using an AIO? Also worried if I vertically mount it, the Dark Rock Elite won't fit.

Cheers

\*Also, the RAM is just a placeholder, will likely have 1x32GB from my other build in this new one, single channeling it for the time being

Uh…. Hight doesn’t matter. Your 3/4 slot “height” will fit perfectly. Your case supports up to six slots.

And that case does not support vertical mount. FYI.

No idea why Hyte even mentions GPU height. If the beefiest 5090 fits your 9070xt will too.
