Hello, I have an Arctic Liquid Freezer III 420mm cooler. Can I install this on the front panel? I saw that it supports 420mm, but the Arctic is very thick. Also, if it can be mounted on the front panel, how many mm (cm) of space will be left for the GPU? I’m asking because I might use an RTX 5090 in this system, so clearance is critical.
 
Considering the mounting location at the top of the case is offset from the motherboard's VRM while also keeping in mind tall ram heat spreaders, I'd advise you mount the AIO tot he top.

Which RTX 5090 are you looking at?

Per the case's support site;
https://nzxt.com/product/h7-flow?srsltid=AfmBOopb88o_BPBD7Q0IVPPE0ZGH2_d3E2HFISU6nce21gvvjcvRKrzt
GPU Length: Up to 410 mm
Since you own the case, subtract the thickness of the radiator and fans and you get the remaining length, which you cross-reference with the GPU you wish to purchase.

My priority for the RTX 5090 will be the MSI Gaming Trio OC model. The NZXT H7 2024 case doesn't support 420mm radiators at the top. I have the Arctic Liquid Freezer III 420mm, which is thicker than standard coolers. Since the case only supports 420mm radiators at the front panel, I'll need to mount it there - but I'm not entirely sure about the clearance limits.
 
The case is in an air-conditioned room, so for now, the GPU's position is not important. What I want to know is whether I can use my Arctic Liquid Freezer III 420mm cooler in this case without any issues. Even though the front panel supports 420mm, the Arctic LF III is thicker than standard coolers due to both its radiator and fans.
