Ok to plug in a PCI Card next to 7800GT?

[Kroz]

I have a tv tuner card (half height) that I want to plug into my pc - but the pc only has one slot left and its the slot right next to the 7800GT.

So should it be ok for a half height pci card to be plugged in next to the pci express 7800gt?! Enough airflow, you think?

should be fine if your temps are good already

Yeah the 7800GT never goes beyond 47 Degrees C.

I also have two large 120mm cooling fans in my Computer Case - so its well cooled.

thanks!

Mine is at 45 C in Windows and about 48 after gaming. Do you have good cooling?

if youve got other open slots, use those first
if you have additional cards, order them by priority, with the cheapest/ones you use the least closest to the video card
