Anybody known the real PCB length for: MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT Gaming X card?

Well, I spent a lot of time (trying to) figure out what lengths various RTX 2070 and RX 5700 XT cards have and it was tricky.

I was unable to confirm the pcb card length for the following card, anybody know?

I have been looking for such cards that are below 270 mm long. With a little luck, this card might perhaps be shorter without the fan and the heatsink.

Here is a pcb photo found online apparently showing the RX 5700 XT gaming X card.

That would be really nice if you could. I got the impression that reference cards are rather short. The AMD RX 5700 XT are problematic, because I am considering adding a particular VRM heatsink to whatever card I might end up with (perhaps), and then, the reference AMD cards seem to have the VRM's just over the end of the PCI-E connector thingy (and then this one particular vrm heatsink won't fit). The MSI XT Gaming X card seem to be a little longer I think, while also perhaps being under 270mm pcb length. The case I am considering have a stated limit of cards up to 270 mm for the pcb.

No, I don't currently own the computer case in question (Monsterlabo). Seems to me, the stated limit is 270mm pcb length. Too bad sellers don't seem to care for providing illustrations with measurements. :|

I wonder if maybe I only require the length of the pcb part itself, not really sure about that one. I do know that I would want to know the length of the card, but without the heatsink/fans.

The compatibility list for the Monsterlabo case is very limited with regard to RX 5700 cards, I think I only saw one on the list. Hm, perhaps the only 5700 card I saw on that list, was the: "AMD Radeon RX 5700 – riser – fixture 017"

Crap. I think if the 'MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT Gaming X' card is 296 mm length for the pcb as you measured then I might be out of luck on that particular graphics card option. I will keep investigating this. I think, if I could use the RX 5700 XT card, I could downvolt it to keep the card cooler.

Disclaimer: I don't like namedropping products, so this is just me trying to figure things out for myself really. Monsterlabo might be something that could work for me, but I only learned about the case yesterday or something like that.
