Advice Louqe Ghost S1 & 7900XTX universal block

I have my ghost s1 here, and according to the measurements on the EK pdf, it would fit, so you could go for it I believe....
I did mean reference board, sorry for not mentioning. I also looked at that EK block as well, it's 27mm thick and with Alphacool's 90 degree low profile fittings the thickness totals 47mm. The assembly would most likely fit but the fittings would make contact with the side panel and I would not be comfortable with that issue.
Do you think the ram and vram components need active cooling with a universal block if the card is driven at stock?

I wonder if you used this top if you would have clearance. I personally wouldn't want to passively cool the VRAM.
I agree that yes, vram needs active cooling. look at the problems that first versions of 3090 had with those vram modules on the back of the pcb.
Will it work without active cooling? Yes
Do I think that fittings touching the lateral panel is a much lesser problem that vram not cooled properly? Also yes
Alphacool has these 90 degree fittings that are only 18mm high. It could make a difference, but you have to use their propietary tubing (which I like btw) but you may need to change every other fitting in your system if you have already bought it.

Also try to look for a barbed 90 degree fitting. These are 16.6 mm high I believe, you only need to put a couple of clamps and you´re good to go
