Hey everyone! I'm about to finish my first PC build and hit a snag. I'm struggling to fit my GPU in the case after messing around with the orientation of my AIO cooler. I'm starting to panic a bit! Did I pick the wrong parts? Is there a way to make everything fit? Here's my PC part list and a link to an image of my setup for your reference.

You might be in a bit of trouble, but there's a workaround! You can put the radiator outside the case and have the fans inside. Just make sure to remove the bottom fan to give your GPU the clearance it needs. Some will suggest placing the radiator at the top, but just be cautious because it can add strain on the pump.
Looking at your case specs, it says the max GPU length is 300mm with drive cages and 355mm if you take them out, but your GPU is 357mm. So even if you manage to mount that radiator on top, you’re still going to be tight on the GPU space with that particular case.
Honestly, if I were in your shoes, I’d ditch the AIO cooler and grab a Thermalright dual tower cooler. It’s just as effective and way less hassle—plus, it should give you the room you need for your GPU. Just remember to check the measurements next time; case specs are everything!
