H5 Flow GPU Clearance

Hey all, I'm looking at the H5 Flow (RGB) for my case. I want to get a 7900 GRE, but I'm not sure how big it can get. On the website alone, it lists two different values (400mm in the card, and 365mm in the specifications).

 

For safety, I'm taking the smaller value. Does this number include the width of the fans? My fans are 26mm in width, so does that mean my GPU has to be under 339mm?

 

Lastly, what is a good tolerance amount to have? Is a 335mm GPU (with 4mm tolerance) fine, or is it too large?

 

TYIA!

If a 335mm GPU is fine to fit in the case then then only issue youll have is with a powercolour red devil, all other cards are under this length

 

however, you wont even have issue with this as you have 365mm of clearance, as the fans do not affect this

 

Here is the case without fans:

And with fans, they are in their own seperate section

Yes, my question is how the calculation works and whether a 335mm GPU will actually fit.

Your fans is 25mm fans, they are mounted in the front, so they take no space, like shown here:

The clearance without a radiator installed is 365mm, so anything under that is ok. You can get a radiator up to 30mm in and still have 335mm.  A guy here clams to have squeezed in a 4090 x trio (337mm in lenght) with a z63 kraken (30mm radiator) :
