Double checking... 5070 Ti in a Fractal Design North?

[Scam]

(Sorry if this has been asked before)

I've been spending way over my upgrade budget in the last few days. No thanks to the memory, SSD shortages and general Black Friday panic So have been having to make some quick decisions on my new build. Although that said, it was always going to be a 5070 Ti build w/ 9800x3d.

So just checking if the Asus GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Prime OC 16GB GDDR7 is going to safely fit in the Fractal North (non-XL) ok.

Size of 5070Ti according to OcUK;

Length / Depth    306 mm
Width            126 mm
Height            50 mm

Case specs say this;

Max. CPU Cooler Height    170 mm
Max. GPU Length            355 mm
Max. PSU Length / Depth    255 mm

************ is giving me this note;

Note: When the Asus PRIME OC GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16 GB Video Card is used, the maximum depth for the Fractal Design North ATX Mid Tower Case front radiator mount is reduced to 49 mm.

I'm not installing a radiator on the front (or at all). So I'm assuming I can ignore that note?

Any tips on cooling in this case? I believe it comes with two fans. I'll probably go air cooling on the cpu so I need to check sizes for that as well. Should I plump for another fan for the top of the case as well? Or rear?

They are just pointing out that it will not fit with a radiator in the front, so you can ignore the warning.

I would not bother with a fan in the top, but probably would for the rear.
