* I find this [Akasa Maxwell Pro Plus](https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Akasa-Aluminium-Audiophile-Environments-ITX48-M2B-black/dp/B0BKPND41X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=5OJWL1C8N6LW&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.00ONwO_lzBiDCyeWHSLUFjbQI2hUlS-aKoyzOzU6zz94HOIgJ8ijWOPTnaqbzKm9CkrM49dB3Amqn8jlT64oSw.rX6oRZ3cuo8sNb1NjjCrBi8nUfm8Wa9oA6iyTX3VOe0&dib_tag=se&keywords=Akasa%2BMaxwell%2BPro&qid=1771770261&sprefix=akasa%2Bmaxwell%2Bpro%2B%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-1&th=1) ( "case + CPU cooler" at once ) pretty good completely setup for the miniPC (6l overall)
* In particularly, I'm planning to buy [Thermaltake PCI-E 4.0 Dual 90 Degree Riser Cable 400 mm](https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Thermaltake-PCI-Degree-Riser-Cable-black/dp/B0DFSBTDCD/ref=sr_1_5?crid=MMKFTFZ1DRFP&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.N3JLY8R3YbEvE2xCNVkhUoT2fzNL9AvkasNo8aYLy5agv6BSitMpdz86bTB2WNb_oS9SVlhGMVPk9EUGVx9QYhMehj3ef98uMOdT4V68DmhCm2PlvpiQ30GVvXvyZUdLnaLrRFyM-M7cH45sqqtFGtbL2wIeNMop1aZN3jnF7vClRCzp7KEtyF5_ZZ8ZPrFUGpSZXOWOMoGXeEC9h0KcBrYlp96K0CETZrPb621F7GQ.XSrJg0LcWBBPfd4nv3H8iMTgYG7gsitQWBBsT_-Bv10&dib_tag=se&keywords=Thermaltake+PCI-e+4.0+x16+riser&qid=1771770378&sprefix=thermaltake+pci-e+4.0+x16+rise%2Caps%2C121&sr=8-5) , and to fit it into the PCIe x16 slot, and pass the connector through the built-in serial DB9 hole of the case (if that hole would be too smal, I would slightly enlarge it)
* But since I don't have the case with me yet, I really need to know, what is the exact distance between the heatpipe, that goes over the PCie x16 slot and the actual PCIe x16 slot, I know it is small, but how much small, because those TT PCIe riser connector is also pretty small in height. Can anyone who has this case measure that distance and let me know?

I want to make eGPU setup with Akasa Maxwell Pro Plus, can you tell me what is exact distance between heatpipe and the PCIe x16 slot?
