Is this GPU too close to Dark Pro 4 cooler?

I've had this cooler + gpu for some time now but after upgrading the CPU 3700X -> 5800X it got me thinking about it again.

The Dark Pro 4 cooler is a chunky beast and barely clears the RAM sticks, plus is a bit snug against my RTX 2080. Should I consider a vertical mount with riser cable? (My case supports it).

If it’s not pushing the gpu off at angle it’ll be fine.

It's very tight but if there are no problem 's with it then you are ok,riser cable way if your not happy.

Nice - any noticeable difference in temps for either CPU or GPU?

I built the PC with it that way so i never tested it with it mounted any other way

It most likely be a few degree's cooler if it was mounted as normal but i don't really care about a few degree's

I have a evga 2080 super ftw3 ultra like that and temps are normal no different
to when it was fitted before.

My 3080 tuf oc is exactly like that with my dark rock pro 4, no issues what so ever
