I would presume one of the wider GPUs that barely fit the Ncase. I have a deshrouded Zotac 3080 Holo, and there is some static pressure loss as the fans stick out ~15mm or so from the edge of the heatsink.
I just tried to fit the Gigabyte RTX 3080 Vision OC. I think the 3090 has the same dimensions. There is plenty of room - by SFF means. I did not thermal test it yet. I feel like 2x 140mm fans would cover more of the GPU's heat sink than the 120mm fans I used until now for my 1080 Ti.
The 3090 TUF OC fits perfectly in the M1 and doesn’t need deshrouding, but does need 180° low profile pcie connectors. But if you want to deshroud it, it will fit with a coupe, of Noctuas at the bottom.

I just picked up my NCase M1 that some decent guys here in Ottawa worked on for me (RB Computing). I had the MSI RTX 3090 Ventus 3X OC deshrouded and the front IO is intact, except for the audio header. Good to go here!

Zotac also has a 4-5mm gap between fan and heatsink when the card doesn't sag. Not sure about the Ventus. These could be solved by using M5 spacers, I presume.
Not sure what you mean, like if the card whines when playing audio? No.
But. I did manage to hit 90 C today after playing Cyberpunk 2077! And I definitely heard the card make some whining sound. Let me explain: I followed M1AF's build guide but haven't undervolted yet or set the AIO fan curve in the BIOS yet. AND. My system is in a bit of an enclosure and I need to drill a hole for better breathability, maybe even put a fan there. Otherwise it is running fairly cool in mundane use, high 50s for CPU and mid 30s for idling GPU.
