As someone with a mITX system, my main concern with this card would be heat. A stock RTX 4060 GPU has a TDP of 115W. I'd bet that most of the heat blows out the top of the card (back into the case) and not out the bracket vents.
I'd love to see a half-height RTX 4060 card that can be underclocked to the same degree as the mobile version (down to 35W TDP), a blower cooler, and smaller video connectors (mDP, USB-C, etc...) that leave more room on the bracket for vents.
I have a very packed Mini ITX build with this card and zero heat issues. My Samsung 990 gets hotter, so I put a Sabrent Heatsink and brought all my temps down. I’m using the CM NR200P, CPU at basic workloads it 25 degrees, but it’s also water cooled with a 280mm AIO.
This might be the only low profile card that requires an 8 pin pcie power connector. But I guess nvidia doesn't allow manufactures to downclock the card to save power.

I want one!Threska - Monday, August 7, 2023 - link
USB-C with display would have been nice.meacupla - Monday, August 7, 2023 - link
It looks like it uses a heatpipe cooler, so it most likely has good cooling.michael2k - Monday, August 7, 2023 - link
Dual slot is now considered low profile?meacupla - Monday, August 7, 2023 - link
Yes, it has always been called "Low Profile" or "Half-height"You are probably thinking of "Single Slot"

Even the 1050ti lp was dual slot.Lucky Stripes 99 - Monday, August 7, 2023 - link

you probably could underclock it to 35W with something like msi afterburnerMonk83 - Saturday, October 28, 2023 - link
