is going slim fan to make your gpu fit with 2mm a good option

So I wanted to buy a RX 6750 XT to get that SAM, but I have the fractal meshify C case

here is the info I have

case max GPU length with front fan mounted
is 315
the GPU is ‎323 mm long,
 so where 10 mm short

but.
An average is fan is 25 mm thickness, so if I get a 15 mm thick slim fan
Then we have a GPU space of 325
my question is this is 2 mm enough space for the GPU

or will I need to get a new case or do I have to remove the fan and have no slim fan there
 

(the GPU you see in the pic is the 1660 super, it's not the RX 6750XT)
(RN I have 3 25 mm thick fans in the front)

Technically it should work, but 2mm is a tiny amount of tolerance. If the case has any sort of flex in it at all then you'll probably find the GPU hits the fans. So, if I were you, I'd aim for a gpu length max of 310mm

you would probably still get decent flow without the middle fan, just try running it like that?

Okay thanks I thought it would be cool to make it work with a slim fan, but this is a decent option too thanks allot

Free GPU bracket is also pretty cool
