On the Gigabyte Z390 AORUS Ultra in particular. I'm looking to buy the Fractal Design Meshify C and for a top radiator mount the supported maximum height for top mo/bo components is 4 cm. It says so on their page for that case.
I couldn't find any sheet with the mo/bo overall dimensions so I assume that only an owner would know. Can anyone help, please?
 
I contacted Gigabyte's support and they were very comprehensive in their reply. This is an image they attached with the heights of the components at specific points of the mo/bo

measuring from the top layer of the PCB
A.) VRM heatsink only – up to 28 mm.
B.) Plastic cover above the VRM heatsink – up to 35 mm.
C.) Highest point of the big plastic cover – up to 44 mm
Given my case's mo/bo size requirements the board definitely won't obstruct a top-mounted AIO with regular thichness fans of 25 mm.
