Hey guys. I have a question. I would Like to Buy a 5090 astral (in best case the LC). Buuuuuuut. Does it fit in my case? Because of the adapter and the cables. The LC is 153,7mm wide. And the only measure I can find about the case is the maximal high of a CPU air cooler. 165mm. If this is the space between the CPU and the glass, it means the card can be max 165mm wide. BUT: What about the cables..?

Hello lokenbo2
The NZXT H9 Flow supports a 360mm radiator at the top, side or bottom.
The ROG Astral 5090 LC has a 360mm radiator so it will fit, cables shouldn't be an issue.

There is currently no real way of telling if a new GPU will cause width issues in your case until you actually try to install it. If you had a card from the same manufacturer already in your case, maybe you can compare the widths in the specifications to see how much further it sticks out. That's probably unreliable though as the connector probably isn't set back in the PCB by the same amount.
Manufacturers really need to start publishing width figures to tip of the connector as that dictates how far out the cable sits and thus how close to your side panel you're going to get. It's total guesswork at the moment and with cards getting bigger, it can be a real problem. Getting your new GPU only to find it doesn't fit in your case is not fun.
