Default 4890 fan blocked too much?

I have an XFX 4890. One of the sound cards I was considering is PCI, and my mobo only has one pci right below the pcie I'm using. If I use this card it will block almost half of the intake fan on the 4890. The soundcard is 17cm long, someone measured it.

I guess I could move the gfx card, but eventually if I get another one I'll still have the same problem.

So will this block the fan too much? Will it affect temps at all?

Thanks.

I guess but maby 1-3 degrees at most.

Just curious doesn't the blood rage have a sound card that comes with it...

You should probably move GPU to a lower slot (if you can). To give the GPU more air.

Great, thanks. So nothing noticeable? Do you think its a good idea, or should I get the PCIE (worse) version of the soundcard?
Yes the bloodrage comes with one, but I'm getting a better one for music.

I might for now, but if I ever get another one for crossfire I'll run into this problem again.
