I'm considering switching my PC case and leaning towards the North XL, mainly because I like its aesthetic. Right now, I have two air-cooled RTX 3090 Founders Edition cards, and I'm worried about whether the North XL has enough clearance for both cards. My biggest concern is if the lower card will have sufficient airflow. Is there a reliable way to confirm if these cards will fit, aside from the specifications mentioning it has seven expansion slots? For reference, my motherboard is an Asus ROG STRIX B650E-E.

It depends on your motherboard's PCIe slot positioning. Make sure to check that they're not too close together. If they are, airflow could definitely be an issue for the lower card.
I actually have a North XL with 2 RTX 3090s, and they fit just fine! Just remember to limit the power on the top card if it’s overheating. I also added a couple of fans in front for better cooling. The airflow is key!
You can check builds on PCPartPicker for setups with the North XL and dual RTX 3090s. There's a good chance you'll find examples that can give you peace of mind!
