Anyone else having trouble fitting GPUs in the Silverstone RVZ01?

Just built a machine for a friend yesterday, used an XFX Double D R9 290, and it didn't fit at all, top of the GPU cooler hits the PSU extension outlet. XFX says this card is 5.6", and Silverstone says maximum height supported is 5.88"?

Ended up having to pull his GTX 670 from his other machine.
 
Just for reference, it's sometimes measured differently. Standard PCIe height GPU card as a reference:
- including bracket: 4.9" (126mm)
- excluding bracket: 4.38" (111mm)

RVZ01 manual, page 21:

(i) The standard width for graphics card is 4.38”. (11.12cm)
(ii) With the graphics card holder installed, the maximum allowable width for graphics card is 5.18”. (13.16cm)
(iii) Without the graphics card holder, the maximum allowable width for graphics card is up to 5.88”. (14.93cm)

By bracket they mean the PCI-E straight riser?

Not sure why they would list that because there's no way to use any card there without it.
 
Yeah I've been reading that manual all day yesterday with my friend... that's the support bracket they didn't include a screw for some odd reason.

Unless they mean remove the bracket from the GPU backplate and use the foam pad bracket only to mount the card, I can't see how it can support a taller card, still. It will still hit the PSU cable.
 
OK, on a second look on the diagram on page 21 of the manual, I see what they mean. The bracket they refer to is indeed the U bracket. I did use it and that bracket fits. But the issue I'm having is near the backplate the card is the same 5.6" height, that part hits the PSU cable.

I think it's specific to the with the XFX Double D card:

I can say for a fact that card will run into the power plug. You have to unscrew it and let it hang in order for it to not impede in the way of the video card. I have that card and the RVZ01.

Were you able to get the card to fit? Do either of you have photos of how it fits into the case?

Thanks.
