Will Lian Li Vision Compact fit ROG X870E Dark Hero + ROG 5090? (GPU slot position concern)

Hi everyone,

I’m currently planning an upgrade and ran into a concern regarding compatibility.

I’m using the Lian Li Vision Compact case and considering switching to the ROG X870E Dark Hero motherboard.

However, I noticed that compared to the ROG X870E Hero board, the PCIe x16 slot on the Dark Hero seems to be positioned one slot lower. This makes me worried about potential clearance issues inside the case.

My main concern is:
Will the ROG Astral 5090 GPU still fit properly in this case after switching to the Dark Hero, given the lowered slot position? Especially considering the size and thickness of the 5090.

Has anyone tried a similar setup or can confirm whether this combination works?
