[rant] Mistakes were made (Lian Li A3 + ASUS TUF b850m-plus wifi7 WHITE)
Sorry for the long post but I must vent about my foolishness.
I saw that the black version of this motherboard was often used on A3 builds here and wanted to join in on the fun.
I found that the black version seemed to sometimes have the GPU on the second slot which could interfere with the nitro+ 9070xt so I went with the white version as it seemed to guarantee the top slot (and I like the white)
Little did I know that the white version has a much larger VRM heatsink which is about 2mm too large for my full sized AIO. Ended up having to order slim fans which is a shame because it won't be as efficient and I gotta figure out the fan screw situation.
And returning the motherboard felt too much effort compared to just getting slimmer fans but that's just me. Anyways, sorry for the rant but I was just so frustrated over such a small oversight.
