Intel 750 cooler clearance

[bgstcola]

I finally built my new computer. Unfortunately my PCI x4 slot was located at the very bottom of the mobo very close to the a wall in my case. There's like 5mm from the heatsink to the case. Should I be worried? I just ran CrystalDiskMark and the cooler didn't get warm at all which I guess should be good sign?

Thanks

Unlike Samsung 950 Pro, heat shouldn't be a problem with Intel's 750-series.

Although it wouldn't matter to check temp after heavy usage.

Thanks, it does seem to run cool. I've not observed temps higher that 36°C.

if you want to watch your temps, download the free version of Hard Disk Sentinel 4.60.13 beta - then you can quit wondering

here's a screen capture of it showing my 950 PRO's temps - the paid version will save days of temps, the free version only today's data
