Hi,
Im having a following setup:
Mobo: Asus Maximus Hero VII
GFX Gigabyte GTX 980 G1
Case: Corsair 750D
Wireless card: TP-Link TL-WDN4800 PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter
NZXT LED cable with PCI Backplate switch.


I am thinking which slots should I use on Asus Maximus Hero VII for the best airflow on my gfx.

The graphic card will be in slot as per picture. (its not actual picture of the GFX I will use )
The NZXT will be put right at the bottom (Slot 3) (Is it safe to have something so close to the PSU?)
And should I put my wifi-card in slot 1 or 2??? (If I go 1 is it safe to put WIFI above the graphic card? (statics/interference etc..? )
If I put Wifi in slot 2 I am afraid that it would disturb airflow for my gtx...

Thank you

Ive never heard of static interference stuff soooo.... 2 is practical but may cause slight airflow problems and 3 may heat up a bit but i cant really see it well enough I'm have a wireless adapter in pretty much the same place as 2 in my build and that seems to work fine so yeah... hope this will help
