Check the specifications or manufacturer guidelines to see if there are any restrictions regarding the placement of the GPU backplate near the CPU cooler.

i think the best you can do is get the dimensions of the Cooler and Motherboard, then calculate manually the distance from the CPU to the pcie slots, and add in the GPU and etc and see if anything overlaps 😬 idk if there's a better way to do this.
