Bit of a long shot here but thought I'd ask in case.
I have an NZHT H500 (non Elite) case with Corsair H100i 240mm cooler.
My current configuration is pull with the fans on the inside of the case. This means the radiator is attached to the filter.

I've seen videos where the fans are not visible. so I am guessing it's mounted on the other side pulling air out?

Anyone with the same case and liquid cooler can share their config?

Reason I am asking is that I'm upgrading my MSI GTX1080 to MSI RTX 3090 and I think the clearance would be very tight or non existent with the my current config.

Well looks like the radiator fans needs to be mounted on the inside and that gives about an inch clearance.

If anyone goes for MSI RTX 3090 Trio X keep in mind it needs x3 8 pin PCIe power. I don't think you can use one with extension (i.e x2 PCIe x8 from one cable) so best have 3 individual ones.
