Hello!

I need some advice on where to place my new AC88 Wlan Card. At the moment it is directly over the backplate of my GTX 1080 Ti OC, because I thought the hot air blowing from the GPU would make the slot under the graphics card worse for the client, but, on the other hand, warm air always rises so I am not sure and wanted to ask you folks here what you think.

Here are some pictures:

just put it under though, it should interfere airflow much as how tiny it is, especially sometimes not all lower slot have full x16 bandwidth, it also aestheticly looks better to put under graphics card in my opinion
