Will a HIS HD 7970 IceQ X² fit in my case?

[Brad2705]

I'm upgrading my graphics card from a sapphire 7850 to a HIS HD 7970 IceQ X² and I was wondering if it'd fit in my case? my case is the Zalman z11 plus.

No it will not fit, the cards 12.36"(312.6mm) long, the Z11 plus only supports GPU's up to 11.4"(290mm) the cooler on the IceQ X2 hangs off to much. If you want to use that case you are going to have to choose another card to use or pick another case to accommodate your setup.

Is there any 7970 card that will fit?

Asus DCII 7970 - 11" be informed it's a triple slot cooler

XFX 7970 - 9.3" looks to be the shortest one available but the coolers on these XFX's cards are mediocre at best and not better than reference

Sorry to bug you, but I'm not sure whether this - Sapphire HD 7970 VAPOR-X - will fit in? I think it's slightly wider and slightly longer.
