I am just getting on with my new build and I have an Antec P110 Luce case. I would really like to use the vertical GPU mount but I hadn't realised the cooler on my Vega 56 (Gigabyte 8Gb OC) is pretty wide and only leaves about 5mm of clearance between the fans and the tempered glass side panel. So the question is, will this be enough to run the card with no issues? I have 2x140mm fans at the front and 1x140mm at the top of the case so it should have decent airflow buy would like to keep the system pretty quiet.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
Most likely the fans will spin up more due to the lack of clearance and air getting to the card. There are adapters you can buy that make use of the case slots to do a vertical mount further back in the case.
