Is it bad to put a PCIe wireless adapter right under GPU fans?

[rsapida]

Hi, so i bought a PCIe wireless adapter for my build. Once i had the GPU in I realized the wireless adapter was going to sit really close to the GPU fans. Should i just return the adapter and buy a USB one? Here is how close it is http://imgur.com/qDJiAE9

It might look like a tight fit, but usually the cards taper off towards the fan area, it will still cover part of the fan, but you should be fine. I'd put it in there, get it all running, game some and check your temps, if your temps are the same or near enough the same, you're good to go. I have a rosewill wireless PCI express X1, and from the way it's shaped, it would be fine underneath.

Thanks! This is my first build and i'm not sure how to monitor the temperatures. What program do you recommend using?

I use coretemp for my CPU, and I like to go with something like GPUZ for my graphics card, the sensors tab.
