I was wondering what the length of my graphics card would be if I added on an aftermarket cooler. I have a HIS HD Radeon 7970 with the stock cooler. This barely fits into my case as it is. However, it runs too hot for my tastes, and loud. I was thinking of installing a ARCTIC Accelero Xtreme 7970. I need to know the dimensions if possible or if this could fit into a Rosewill Challenger Case. Thanks a bunch!

That cooler is huge. I mean : 288 mm (Length) x 104 mm (Height) x 54 mm (Width). The Challenger from Rosewill supports up to about 11.2inch (11 inches =
27.94 centimeters) so i dont think it will fit properly.

That picture tells me that :

1st : It wont fit.
2nd : If you meassure the space between both ends of the case and cut the floppy mount there i thing that it will be able to fit. If you cant cut it then :

Not as popular as the Accelero Xtreme but i think it should get the job done.

Because the cooler extends past the end of the card, it wont fit.
