Just because case specs say "360mm of gpu clearance", that does not mean "comfortably" or "you won't have to disassemble everything around it". (lemmy.world)

I just bought a 420mm AF II and plopped it on top of my case. Problem solved.

My first case didn't even give that option lol. Was a rather odd design. I'm using a Corsair case now and decided to front mount, with fans at the top for exhaust. My room gets a bit hot, probably from all the weed, so when I'm gaming it helps exhaust the air from the GPU.

I didnt say I mounted I "plopped" it on top. It is only attached to not fall off, but it moves. And there is a huge ass hole beside it so the tubes have room to get into the case. Welp, too lazy to get a new case for now so that is how it is going to be.
