Hey there guys,

So I'm just looking for a little help. My previous gpu is dying (I think? artifacts etc) and I'm looking at getting a new one. After some research I was looking at a Gtx 970 more specifically the Asus Strix Gtx 970. My power supply seems to meet everything and my case (Azza Hurrican 2000) seems to have enough room by my measurements. The only thing I'm getting hung up on is the fact the heatpipe from the Asus gpu protrudes quite a bit and I'm wondering if they factor this into the measurements?

For reference:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0ZX2FA1317&cm_re=asus_strix_gtx_970-_-14-121-899-_-Product

On that page the dimensions are listed as 11" x 5.5". I'm I correct in thinking that the 5.5" is including the heatpipe or do I need to add another inch or so for that?

EDIT: It should fit the Azza Hurrican 2000 correct? I believe it has the length required as I can always remove bays but I'm worried about the height with everything else factored in?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
