You’re right. There are two already installed. Add two more to extend it more.

Is there a rule about posting back to back?
Anyway, I took it apart to show how it looks.
1st pic, the double standoff I was talking about. It gives more clearance for the PSU and it clears the AIO problem.
2nd-4th pic, this is the problem using a single stand-off. Closer to PSU, and the end of the GPU is hitting the AIO rubber tube, which would result to the GPU not actually sitting on the riser cable.
I hope all of this helps.

Dang I hadn't though about a double standoff solution. That's excellent.
Where do I get one of those? You think a double pcie passthrough like that would cause any performance impact?

It was included with the case. I’m not sure about doing double pcie. I don’t think it’s necessary.
The evga xc3 has the opposite problem--it sits too close to the outside case wall and its fan rub against the side panel. I'm wondering if you can reverse this idea and get a slightly shorter standoff to give the xc3 an extra 1mm breathing room between the fans and side panel? Do such mini standoffs exist? Do we even need a standoff there??
It's only a 5mm long standoff, I don't know if shorter M3 standoffs are common. However, you could probably 3D print a spacer between the riser and the back of the motherboard panel and use a slightly longer through-bolt.
FYI, got the custom cables in and finally got the case put back together.
CPU is a 4770K, stock, with the 645LT and a 25mm thick fan using the Losercase 3DP mods
GPU is a 3080 FE, running at 1875mhz@ 850mv.
PSU is in the normal orientation.
Running Heaven on a loop, GPU settles around 75C. I don't have an accurate way of measuring sound, but the case is clearly audible but not loud.
Running OCCT and P95 simultaneously, GPU settles around 85C, CPU bounces around in the high 80s for the most part. Case is definitely loud at this point, most of the fans are running at 75%+ speed.

I was thinking of doing the loser card mod. Is it worth it?It's only a 5mm long standoff, I don't know if shorter M3 standoffs are common. However, you could probably 3D print a spacer between the riser and the back of the motherboard panel and use a slightly longer through-bolt.

I was hitting tjmax (100C) without it so it was a bit necessary for me. This is partially because it's an older CPU; any modern chip is going to be much more power efficient.
I also had the capability to produce the parts myself so the cost was pretty minimal.
Ah. I don’t think I need it then. I just did an undervolt like you did. I ran heaven with 1860 MHz and 825mV. It stayed at 75. Do you think you can go lower in voltage?
Anyone else have a problem with MSI Afterburner's voltage curve jumping around all the time? It never quite seems to stick when I set it to e.g. 1875MHz and 865mV. Sometimes it'll adjust to 1830MHz and 865mV, sometimes to 1890MHz and 865mV. Always the same general shape, though. Very strange...
oo interesting. wonder if itll work on the strix 570 board. I got the one below previously and it gets in the way of other cables and wont fit. currently just running it disconnected.
With stock settings temp goes up to 81 degrees max
Rear metal plate removed but fans still make a very low squeaking that you can barely hear as it just fits.
You can replace the 5mm stand off of the riser with some washers to get 2mm more space between side panel and card.
Just add some layers of washers on the two mounting point of the riser and secure it with two 8mm long M3 screws

I'm just wondering... could be 81ºC some kind of temp wall above such the power control takes actions to try to reduce that temp? For instance I have the exact same value on the Aorus Engine stock settings (RTX2070). Maybe the 3xxx family works different but it just caught my attention.
