Yeah it is

u might be leaving performance on the table cuz the bottom slot isn't the fastest

#

So the reason its at the bottom is because of the cpu radiator pipe

#

ohh okay

#

i see, you should try mounting your radiator in the opposite direction, perhaps that should make some space for the gpu

#

not sure though

Its something ill have to try the other thing is maybe trying to find a way to vertically mount the gpu so its either behind or in front of the pipe

#

alrighty good idea, keep in mind that the PCIE riser should be connected to the top slot, otherwise it still wouldn't make a difference

#

oh and make sure that your case supports vertical mounting, or it might not work

I have no idea if it does or not
