Thanks to you, I've successfully destroyed my dreams

Believe it or not, my particular case actually DOES support the extra 11mm vertically, because the card is laid sideways. There is extra clearance between the CPU shroud and GPU area to support it (pictures to come later).

The real deal breaker is the length of the card. The Gigabyte RTX 4060 LP measures L=182 W=69 H=40mm; the shroud at the length is only a handful of MM from touching the front of the case, but the PCB underneath is about 20mm shorter, which is where the the 8 pin converter board fits to power it (TL;DR proprietary PCIE to 8 pin).

At a monstrous 202mm, not even including the length added by the converter board atrach to the 8 pin, this thing doesn't have the clearance to fit. The PCB takes up the entirety of the card too, so the cooler can't be shaved down to compensate. Depending on the empty space behind the fan, I might have to see if the converter board can be soldered to the 8 pin connector and hide underneath the shroud of the GPU itself.
