Plant with platzraubendem large heat sink

In principle, like the graphics card is not bad but ...
The large heat sink takes up a lot of space.
The measure graphics card with heatsink down beträt 3.5 cm.
These are the "pure dimensions", but it should also be space for air cooling are added.
In my case, the graphics card covert one PCI slot completely.
The second slot including myself liked no longer use because the card already in idle mode to 53 degrees heated.

I advise against other card directly below the "heater" insert as electronic components great heat not usually like.

Even if you allow enough space down you should still remember that the card may all surrounding components on the main board heated in which it is inserted.

My tip:

- Either a fan under the radiator stick (for example with epoxy resin adhesive.) But then comes more space lost.

- Other graphics card purchase either does not heat up as much, or already has a fan
