If I install this card the fans will be facing the back of my SB X-Fi Titanium, its the only way it will fit. Will this cause heat issues?

If there is a space between both shouldnt, the card get a little hot for been a OC version but nothing serious.

Yes, unless you move the sound card down. Unless the fans are blocked off you should be fine. I have never heard of a sound card producing alot of heat.

Its likely. I've got a friend with another Asus card with the same cooler and it causes his sound card to cut out sometimes because they run pretty hot. I have two of these in my rig and they are great cards. Just really hot

with the kit that came with the cooler and from what info i can find about your socket it should fit. i have a x75 sabertooth motherboard running a mid corsair tower and it fits fine to the back fan mount. I hope this info helps you.

For the most part the air blows out the back(exterior), but yes, with this design, some of it does blow inside the case -- here is where having a case with good airflow design is key. My top card is a bit warmer than my bottom card, but that's to be expected in an SLI setup, and again good airflow design helps here as well.

Just FYI, this thing is huge! I put in on an older Radeon 5770 when the fan went bad and I made sure to measure, but even then it is surprising how big it is. I have a full size case and I can't put a case fan in one of the slots because the things sticks up so much. Your card will definitely run hotter (I forget how many degrees mine went up, maybe 5-10 Celsius but still in a workable range) and it will really depend what kind of airflow you have in your case. It might even require a few modifications to the passive cooler. I had to cut off some plastic so it would fit on the card properly. Just FYI, this thing is huge!

You will have to put the low profile front piece that comes with the card on it it should fit than provided it has room for the fan

Most new Radeon cards come with a 3rd party heat sync. I dont know why you would need this.It was a good heat-sync, but it doesn't come with a fan or a comfortable way to connect one.It has two sets of brackets, one for Nvidia and one for Radeon. You'll need to check it's compatibility to know if it fits or not.

Kinda... You could remove the cover and the fans from your graphics card, then place this to blow air on the graphic's card heatsink. I recommend against this because the fans on your graphics card are designed to change speeds depending on temperature. This will not do that automatically. I recommend to either buy the proper replacement fan for your current heatsink/graphics card or google search "graphics card aftermarket heatsink" and replace all of it.

Nope, as long as you don't damage the card. EVGA is great about that as with most things. As for heat, keep in mind the 770 is much more powerful and will run hotter. These cards can run quite hot and usually it is nothing to worry about unless the noise bothers you.

The case vents extremely well. I have a GTX 780, and running Battlefield 4 on ultra for hours my max temp is 62C. I have 2 fans on the front, 1 on the back, and an exhaust on the side in front of GPU. It would still run fine without those, I just wanted colored lights there.

Hi,the cooler is not suitable for your card. Please use the Accelero Xtreme IV 280 (X). Thanks and best regards,Jens

You could always add extra fans in your case to help with airflow, but this card was designed for high heat, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Something I do to keep the temp down under heavy load is run MSI Afterburner and set a custom "Fan Speed Curve". The fan will get pretty loud but my card usually stays around 70 C and runs smooth as butter.

The slot above the motherboard IO plate is really for USB/Firewire panels that occupy an expansion slot, but do not extend more than a half inch or so away from the expansion slot cover. Even though a single-slot height, full-width graphics card could technically be mounted there, it will likely interfere with your CPU cooler and/or memory, making it unusable in that expansion slot. You would be better off looking at a half-width (low-profile) 750 Ti. I know that Galaxy makes a model that comes with a dual-low-profile layout. Other companies may as well.

It may fix. I got a 750w 80 plus gold and I had to cut one of the hard drive bay to make it fit. The case is very practical in space and good looking. For fans, get the noctua fans or better. Watch for how big the heatsick is. I can't overstate about planning to manage the space and cables on this case.

Hello, the fan always runs, it may adjust speeds for tempature but it never stops or the card would overheat very fast.

Just to amend my answer, mounting the heat sink horizontally could also be a problem as the fan could block the PCI and PCI Express slots and the power connectors on the motherboard. So, do the measurements first.

You're definitely right! I think the chip outputs too much heat. What I did is undervolted the cpu from the BIOS and also disabled the AMD Turbo Technology, and now it's so much cooler and quieter. Temp on idle around 30-35 load 50-55. Lowest degree was 25. That's insane with the stock fan!
