Hoping to deshroud a 4090 MSI Gaming Trio. Will this model work with 120/140mm fans pressed right up against the heatsink or does the heatsink design have problematic potrusions? Also, what is the deshrouded heatsink width (IIRC Ventus heatsink is 31mm but Gaming looks 5-10mm taller)?

The 4090 variant of the MSI Ventus model that's the most popular to deshroud isn't in stock anywhere since no one stocks MSRP AIB 4090 cards or I'd just buy that. I know the Gaming Trio also has small RGB headers I'm really not looking forward to unplugging (or reconnecting).

Current case is an NR200 where a deshroud will hopefully make the 4090 Trio less of a tight fit, but plan to move to a C4-SFX when it's available.
