I have Asus B350m-a motherboard and asus rx 560 4gb strix oc graphics card. There are two additonal pci-e 2.0 slots, one of which is covered by my gpu's fans. I ordered a pci-e card with USB-C connection, since my phone uses usb C. However, I think the gpu fans will be very close to the pci-e card. Can it make GPU cooling harder, thus increasing temperature?
