PCI Slot Fan, will it make my Radeon HD 6870 cooler?
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Something similar to this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... (not this specific model per se it was just the first one on the list).
1. Are these things able to keep graphics cards cool? If yes how much of a difference should I expect to see?
2. What are the advantages of having one of these over a side panel fan, aside from the obvious one of your case not supporting side panel fans? What if I got one of these and a Side Panel intake fan would that bring temps down even more?
3. Are these intake or exhaust fans? If its an intake fan wouldn't I need a filter of some sort for it? If its an exhaust fan wouldn't it weaken the GPU's cooling because it takes away air from the GPU fan?

That one is not for direct cooling of the GPU. It is just another exhaust fan for your case. That one is so small the benefits don't even seem worth it.
Something like this may help but is only fans over your GPU not blowing any air out of the case.

Although I still wouldn't expect the GPU temps to improve all that much.
