Yeah I think im going to run into the same issue with the 5090. I'm tempted to go the same route with the vertical mount. But I want to add my SFP adapter to my board as I've got 10Gb fiber running to most rooms in my house right now and want to upgrade to 25Gb in the future. I might just use my case with side panel off for a while then get the O11 EVO XL. Then stuff that with 140mm Chromax fans. Then I might just grab the thermal grizzly if I'm too worried about the cable. With the cost of everything going up so much I am just paranoid and want my stuff to last as long as possible.
If a BTF board didn't cost $1200 id probably just go that route.
