Hi
Plan on installing a 3rd GPU on my ASUS X99-AII mobo in the recommended 4th PCIe slot (see attached)

Using for GPU rendering, don't need SLI!
So here is my issue. You can see from the picture that there are 3 mobo connectors that will be covered by the 3rd GPU once installed.
1- HD audio
2- USB 3.0 connector
4- USB 2.0 connector
I've located a right angle USB3.0 connector over on moddiy.
But I still anticipate this as well as the USB 2.0 and HD audio connectors coming into contact with the bottom of the GPU (a GTX 1080 FE).
By 'bottom' I mean the side closest to the mobo.
I know this card gets quite hot during full load.
Should I worry about the heat and cable contact?
To play it safe should I just go without any USB, audio functionality?
