Hi i just fitted a Arctic Cooling Accelero Twin Turbo and just wondering if my sound card is to close or not?

Not good for air flow. Can you not put the soundcard in another slot or turn the cooler round?

It's certainly not ideal for airflow.. why are you not using the 2 lower pci slots?

Edit: ah, is it a pci-e soundcard?

simbady · 24 Jun 2009 at 18:25

Take sound card out. Run a 3D test app. Make a note of the temperature. Put sound card in. Run 3D test app. Make a note of the temperature. Base decision on whether to start fiddling about with things on the difference in temperatures.
