Any GPU advice?

I'm building an AI workstation based on an Intel NUC 9 Extreme (Ghost Canyon) with the following specs:

- Intel Core i9-9980HK

- 64GB DDR4 SO-DIMM

- Windows 11

- Main use: Local LLMs (Ollama, Open WebUI), quant research, Python development, Docker, and occasional gaming.

I'm specifically looking for an RTX 5060 Ti 16GB that fits inside the NUC 9 without modifying the case.

I know Intel officially recommends GPUs around 8 inches (~203 mm), but I've seen mixed reports about slightly longer cards.

Has anyone successfully installed a 5060 Ti 16GB in a NUC 9?
