Hello, I've recently brought a Gigabyte GA-B85M-HD3 Mobo. It's micro atx. I also have a GTX 660 and a Asus N10 Wireless Card. If I were to plug these two things into my motherboard,it would be very tight - around 0.5cm. Despite this, I have a MSI Twin Frozor 660 which gets around 22 Idle and 30-45 In load.
1) Would my gpu keep a stable temp with the Adapter blocking a bit of the fan? (DUAL FAN - Will block a little bit of the left one.)
2) Would it effect the wireless connection
Note: I have a Zalman Z9 plus case, around 18 degrees all the time inside. So overall it is very cool.

1) yes, airflow will be affected a bit but not drastically.
2) no, the wireless connection will not be affected.

you can check, but i would guess a max 5C increase.

Oh thats fine, my case has a side fan directly blowing into the area so that should be no problem. Thank you very much.

If anyone else has any other comments, feel free to add, will mark solution in about 1 hr.

I had to sandwich my Sound Blaster Z in between my two GTX 670's and have not really had any problems with the temps on my top card. Maybe 5c at the most. And I do not think your connection will be harmed at all.
