Size specs include heat sink? MSI HD 6950 Twin Frozr

[Rattlin Bones]

So I've got a Cooler Master Cavalier 3, and from tape measure measurements, I can fit a GPU as long as just over 11" maximum.

I was considering a MSI Radeon HD 6950 Twin Frozr II OC 810MHZ 2GB GDDR5 ($209 CAD AR)
or MSI Radeon HD 6950 Twin Frozr III OC 850MHZ 1GB GDDR5 ($199 CAD AR)

To be paired with my X3 720 for use on a BenQ XL2410T 23.6IN Widescreen 120HZ LCD Monitor LED 1920X1080 2MS or ASUS VH236H 23 Widescreen LCD Monitor Black 1920X1080 16:9 2MS (haven't decided yet).

But the GPUs advertise a length of 10.83" and 10.63" respectively. Does this include the heat sink and fan compartment? Or is this only the circuit board itself? If the latter, it wouldn't fit my case for certain.

Thanks!

If you have room for 11 inch graphics cards, those cards should fit fine.

Since the power sockets are on the top of the card instead of the end you'll be fine with either card.

I just measured my TFIII 6950, it is just a hair over 10 5/8" to the end of the cooler, entire card length. You'll be fine.

Thanks guys, especially chimaxi83 for actually measuring yours!

Sets my mind at ease, and lets me take advantage of a good deal.
