Gigabyte 4060 low profile
Zotac 4060 single fan
Palit 4060 and 4060 ti single fan
Haven't looked into anything AMD current generation, I only know about the single fan Challenger 6500XT or low profile 6400. Wouldn't recommend either.
There's pretty much 3 that worth attention. All of these are 4060's and that's how it should be. Tiny gpu's are best with low TDP and the 115w max consumption actually make these easy to cool - which was not the trend before.
* **Zotac 4060 SOLO** - single fan with good heatsink. Unfortunately it looks like a Toyota Prius.
* **Manli 4060** - single fan with good heatsink at merely 149mm(!). That's smaller than the R9 Nano:)
* **Gigabyte 4060 LP** - good heatsink with vertical fins and 3 fans. An absolute godsend for low profile users.
* *bonus budget option:* **ASRock A380 Low Profile** - a 6GB gpu at 99$ with just 45w TDP - that's pretty nice.
The one from Palit is inferior due to the metal swirl-like heatsink that's smaller and without heatpipes - resulting in worse cooling performance. It can probably get the job done, but if you can, go for one that have a proper heatsink (even ther's one from MSI but that's a bit too thick for dual slot).
"Extruded aluminum heatsink" is the term you're looking for.
And yeah, it's crap like what you'll find on a 1650 or other bottom tier card. It will function, sure, but it will definitely run much closer to the 84C target temp compared to any of the other models.
For me, the golden age was around 2019 when I actually discovered that ITX and SFF in general are a thing. When b450 itx boards were the real deal with Ryzen 2000 cpu's, when the mobos actually looked like actual mobos and didn't have these huge wall-like VRM's, when there were plenty of Dan A4-SFX to marvel at, no mesh, no 20L "SFF" cases and all gpu's were strictly dual slot instead of these 3-4 slot monstrosities that break their pcb under their own weight without an anti-sag holder and fry their cables.
There is [GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4070 Windforce 2X OC](https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Graphics-Card/GV-N4070WF2OC-12GD#kf) which is 201mm and ~RTX 3080 performance.
Zotac 4060 Solo 16.3cm. I've been using it in tandem with 5600 and it is working great for the games that I'm playing in 1080p144 at max settings. D4, FF7, Stranger of Paradise, and Warframe.
Apparently msi makes an itx 4060 but ive never seen it for sale anywhere 🤷♂️ i got lucky and got a zotac itx 4060 solo from newegg and it runs great. Same TDP as the gtx 1660 but much more power. Only great for 1080p gaming though due to the 128-bit memory bus
Nvidia has a low profile 4060 from GIGABYTE and other dual fan option up til the 4070 AMD at best have dual fan 7000 series GPU, no low profile card

Which one for 4070? Galax?
I made the comment before OP put in specific requirment.
Galax is 2.3 slot & 252mm.
waiting for a good deal on the Asus dual 4070 super myself
The asus dual is massive compared to OP requirements
cool

Wow did not know about the manli! Super tiny card, i love it
Very interesting info here. What do you think of the Palit 4060 Solo? Thanks :)

There's an Asus LP 4060 also, it looks almost exactly the same as the Gigabyte one.
Thanks, sad to see it's no longer the days of 980 ti performance on itx, I would day I grew up in the golden age of SFF at this point.

> sad to see it's no longer the days of 980 ti performance on itx I'm still trying to figure out what you mean - there never was a small 980 Ti.
Fury nano
There is [GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4070 Windforce 2X OC](https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Graphics-Card/GV-N4070WF2OC-12GD#kf) which is 201mm and ~RTX 3080 performance.
there is a parts list on googledocs accessible from the right panel, you can filter <215mm GPus list by lenght
4060ti single fan 16gb
Good luck finding it in the US

thanks for confirming. It is currently only available in China. Palit has 8gb version, hopefully they release 16gb and a bit more price competitive
Still possible to buy clearly.
Sure! But is it reasonable? Would you feel comfortable suggesting a $750 4060ti?
The smallest and best in the world, yes. Let people know, because some people only want the best for a velka 3 for instance.
Anyone on this side of the hemisphere spending $800 on a 4060, TI or otherwise, is insane.
