From the picture provided it looks like the chipset cooler wont be a problem since its cut down in 1 slot width, and the CPU cooler is far away enough from the end of the ZT-71304-20L. It may actually be beneficial that it faces the cooler, since heat spreader is so minimal(its a 20W card) it can help with sucking the hot air off of it.. right onto the processor. 😁
The biggest challenge might be the 3 capacitors near the opening of the slot, those may prevent the DVI connector to slide in its place, and maybe the toroid choke further down.

A Zotac GT 710 is 146.05mm long. Both cards are the same, but the 100 dollar version has scrubbed Zotac logo, so the poor victims think they are provided a custom solution and not just any old off the shelf video card.

Well you could always get a 128 bit Radeon 9200 card.. 🤣
But all the GT 430/520/610/710 and HD2400 Pro/3450/4350/5450/7350 PCI/PCI-E x1 cards are 64 bit so its not like we can choose like in the good ol days. 😀
