that should be fine from a thermal viewpoint, as the card is surely deeper than the psu. also the psu won't imo get that hot in a bottom config. the only thing is, that the 3rd pcie slot needs to be the 2nd last on the board (if standard atx size), otherwise it may not fit...chrisskinner78 wrote:Yeah thinking about it space might still be a bit tight. I've got a Cosmos Cooler Master, the power supply at the bottom is quite close to the spare slot.
My new GTX 470 is showing up as a GTX 465

Thinking it might be a 570 at the moment, think nvidia are phasing out the gtx 470 because it was bit of a flop and there aren't actually that many around, all the £200 470's seem to be sold out.
