If anyone has an XFX Double D Radeon HD 7870 GHz Ed., or knows someone who does, could you please take some measurements of the red aluminium strip on the top? I accidentally lost mine when at the store buying paint to make it match my build (don't ask why I had it there...). Any help would be greatly appreciated! Can't find anything online.     ):

This is a rough estimate - The total length of the card is 24.1 cm and the red aluminium strip nearly reaches from one side to another, so I would say it is about 20 cm?   

 

You can always go online and find where the strip was and measure it on your card.

Thanks for all the replies so far! I tried measuring using the card itself (there are 2 screw holes to hold the strip) but there is too much going on to get good measurements. the length of the strip should be 23.3 cm, but all the other measurements aren't really clear based on the card and online. I can kinda get a rough measurement, but it needs to be exact because of the rest of the cooler (at least the part near the 2 6pin connectors).

o.0 Just found out Linus did an unboxing of the core edition of the 7870. Maybe they have it somewhere in slicks pile of graphics cards! I'm desperate. Will do research online to see if it should be the same size.
