That should be enough, as long as the back of the case stays cool. Put your hand in back of it to check, consider putting it at an angle as well so that the air can go on the side.

grunion,

Is your second one the same spec or is it the later version, mine was one of the earlier versions.

air cooling is not enough for these cards they need to be water cooled.....I need to turn up my fan on my card to even let it run crysis warhead MP online for two matches if I dont increase the fan to 100% my computer reboots due to overheating of the card.
