How to vertically mount your GPU in the Corsair 5000D Airflow (does it get too hot?)

This is a video on the Corsair 5000D Airflow and specifically how to mount your graphics card vertically in it so you can see it in all its glory. But is that a good idea?

I previously did a video on how to mount your GPU vertically in the 4000D Airflow (https://youtu.be/PMr3alCeM78) but in that case I had a front mounted 360mm all in one cooler, so there was a question of whether that was negatively impacting airflow and thus partly to blame for the poor vertical mounting results.

This time, I'm running the 5000D with 6 fans up front pulling air in and 6 more on top exhausting air out with a push/pull config to keep it running nicely. So will the results be superior?

For reference, the parts used here:
