As promised, the stock heat sink + the Noctua 25mm height fan is ~ 50mm.

Note that I measured from the copper plate to the top of the Noctua fan.
The Gelid will NOT fit as at ~50mm, it is already a VERY snug fit. I noticed the Ultra 6 Plus has maybe 1-2mm more, but even then, it is nowhere the needed 59mm of the Gelid.

Heat Sink with Fan Dimensions (mm): 131 (l) x 123 (w) x 59 (h)
Will not fit. Too high and wide/long.
