The battle for every degree
I modified the NUC fan a bit and installed it higher with standoffs.
I glued a 2mm thick EPDM / neoprene sealing tape around the upper fan grille so that both fans draw in the colder room air better.
As I can see from the pictures, the screws are accessible from above.
So you could try installing the slot bracket first and then the card.
Finally, screw the card to the slot bracket.
Maybe this can work ?
Thanks for all the details.
I‘ve did that mod today :)
Fortunately the NUC fan fits very properly.
Here's the M2_2 fan pinout:
I installed the fan rotated so that it blows the colder room temperature into the case.
i tried to „shrink“ my Kingston DC1500M, but without success - no chance to fit it in.
Smaller bolts for reducing the height, also not working.
I ordered a PM9A3 now.
I‘ve tested it and it runs without problems, but i switched to proxmox, because i do not want to disable any cores or thinking about core affinity.

From my personal perspective.
It is nice to have it all homelab-stuff on one little box, but it is better to have additional / seperate low powered box for the network-routing stuff.
Homelabs are often not static - you want to test something, patch, rebooting proxmox …
If you lost the routing...
It’s a bit offtopic, but did anybody successfully passthrough a port of the onboard X710 and a PCIe-NIC to a proxmox VM ?
I can only passthrough one PCIe-device to VM.
The ACS override in the kernel is set.
