hello. I recently got an NZXT Guardian 921 RB computer case to upgrade to from my old one as it was to small for the video card which i belive was causing it to over heat with with side pannel on as the temp was getting up to around 88c

With the new case the video card still seems to be a bit to big. Can the size of the card compared to the case cuase it to over heat faster.
The new case came with a double fan, one on the side pannel and one in the front,

The card in question is an AMD Radeon R9 200/HD 7900 (7970)
