How thick is a reference R9-290 PCB with a full cover EK Water Block on it, measured from the back of the PCB to the top of the water block? In mm please.

I'm trying to plan my first custom loop with an EK-FC water block on an R9 290 in a Silverstone RVZ01 or ML07.

Well I have a 290X with a Full cover EK waterblock on it. Its only 1 slot thick, but I do not know what that is in mm off the top of my head.

Honestly, if it comes down to a matter of mm whether or not a component will work, the case is too small for a decent loop. I've seen some decent loops in the Silverstone cases, but they were all heavily modded and a touch starved for radiators. If you haven't bought one yet, I'd reconsider.
