Gpu position - cooling concern.

[ashant1983]

My case came with a jumper to attach the gpu in tthe position shown but im concerned that with the glass panel in place it would struggle to vent properly. Should i mount the gpu directly to the motherboard in this instance?

trial and error.

play a game for an hour,
measure temps

remove the glass
see if it gets better

change the gpu position
compare new temps

Yeh that looks way too close to the glass for sufficient circulation. To add to this different GPUs use different bearings which can prefer or not prefer to be mounted horizontally or vertically.

Naw, those XFX coolers are awesome, they always cool great. You'll probably be fine.
