lucky: please read the whole thread. Not mini-itx!

The plates are not together, just close. By cutting I would've left maybe too little cooling area. BTW this sink was never designed for a fan, so it was previously attached with a screw hack. I believe I'll have no problems mounting it, and while I do, I'll make it blow on the GPU heatsink too, that was pretty hot when I messed with software some months ago.

Anyway, here's v2, I twisted the centermost plates to a heartlike shape, it will increase cooling:

I'm glad I had room to do that..

Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX, it's still not good. Especially in a tight case.

Like I wrote, shortening probably isn't the best solution but at least it would allow for a similar rate of dispersal (and across the same area) as the original design. As far as "cooling area" goes, don't think only of total fin height/area without accounting for changes in the spread between the fins. The latter is every bit as important as the former, if not more so. I think you're going to have uneven heat dispersal with it like that.

This is a really cool project and i can't wait to see the finished product. You'll have to make a video of it in action. I'm not going to add any suggestions as your the man running the show and i don't see anything wrong with it except like people are saying you might want to just make sure that this thing won't overheat. The last thing you want is to put it together and in an hour it's melting away.
