First of all, i didn’t know if its better to choose cooling or cases forum but i went with this one, if its wrong one would be cool if a mod would redirect my thread.

So i got all my parts already except the AIO. I desperately want to get LFIII because it’s a not expensive while S tier performance cooler. The case is NZXT H7 Flow (2024), as i’ve heard it has the best airflow in NZXT history with all 10 fans but i don’t know if its glazing. I’ve seen a lot of builds with this case/cooler combo, people say it’s not a tight fit but it depends on mobo’s VRM heatsink. My motherboard is Aorus Elite X870E. I don’t know if its heatsink is considered tall or short, but i want to know if someone did the exact bulid or is nearly sure it will fit.
 
NZXT's specs advise against it. Their manual states that the clearance is 57mm and the LFIII is thicker than that. You may wish to consider mounting the LFIII in the front of the case rather than the top. The LFIII instructions note that this is acceptable as long as the tubing connectors are on the bottom; it is only when the tubing connectors are on the top that there is a risk of bubbling. You could download and read the manuals for both case and cooler before finalizing this.

The AIO should go to the top without any hindrance from your motherboard's VRM.

Moved thread to Cooling section from Cases section.
