Hello everyone, I'm facing an issue with fitting my Gigabyte 4090 Aero OC into the Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX X670 board. The case has an ANTEC C8 design, and the I/O shield is positioned to secure the GPU but preventing it from fully lowering. I'm considering cutting or bending the case to allow more clearance, though this seems risky since it would prevent securing the GPU properly. The GPU needs to drop about 5mm, and the standoffs are correctly installed. I took photos with the case open to check for alignment issues in a test bench setup. I've also tried installing it upright, but I'm unsure what else I should try. IMG_6233.dng

It might help to shift the motherboard a bit forward in the case by about 1mm.
