That has a lesser VRM and fewer total ports. It also cramps things up when they don't have to be that way given the case.
@WhiteMousse. I see no issues, and think it's great as a premium build. FYI, though, you can step up to the Aorus Pro AX for the next step up in VRM robustness without the price getting out of control (because above that you're talking about the Ultra, Master, or Tachyon, or equivalents from the other manufacturers, which all come at a steep luxury). Although I don't think you need a better VRM than the one in the Elite AX. It's more than enough. Just throwing out an FYI.
