GK / Wlan heat

[exabyte55242]

Hey guys,

Im building an entry-level gaming rig, and im planning on using
GIGABYTE GA-B75M-D2V MB and fitting it with GTX 650 Ti Boost GK.

Now, im pretty at peace about the GK spreading extemporaneous amounts of heat while under load, but what worries me is the MB layout...

...as I'd like to fit the second PCI-Ex1 with a WLAN card, and fear that the heat spreading from the GK might not do it any good.

Does anyone of you run a similar layout in your pc? Do you think i should ditch the mATX, go for a full size ATX and put the WLAN card further from the GK?

Thanks for ur time.

The biggest problem of onboard Wireless cards is the Antenna that is on the back of the case between the case and the wall.

Just use a Good USB (like this) and leave alone the rest of the hardware.

GK == Graphics Kard (kind of like Mortal Kombat)?

Anyway, the GTX 650 Ti is not terribly hot and even if it was, PCI cards can handle a good amount of ambient heat. You can stick the Wifi card in the lower PCIe x1 slot and be totally fine.

Thanks guys, i'll be using an external antenna, so the reception won't be a problem.
GK: Oh man, didnt realize that 😀 Im used to using 'GK' on domestic forums since our language uses the word 'Karta'.
