Lower GPU any benefit

[a22shady]

Hey guys I was looking at my system and wondered if I was to move my video card GTX 970 lower (currently is Slot 1) so move it to another slot away from processor do you think this would make any benefit for cooling either?

 

  My temps in case are fine with no issues at least I don't think. My CPU is still stock on cooler master 280 watercolor. have corsair 750D 2 bottom / 2 front intake fans 1 back exhaust and 2 exhaust for radiator. Idle cpu temps 36-38c highest when messing around or playing a game that I seen was mid 40's when it was OC at 4.6 stress test 1 hour high 60's... GPU seems to be warm 48-50C but fans don't even turn on till it reaches 60C checked with EVGA that's the way its supposed to work 

 

 So anyway was just wondering if anyone here has thought about or has done same and if they noticed any difference in temps with gpu or cpu. Also did or would this affect the graphics in anyway? I know they say single card is supposed to be slot 1 but...

 

 Thanks for help

Unless your graphics card is right next to something else I dont think you will see that much improvement.

If you don't game, just for web browsing and such then it "can" benefit you. But if you do gaming, it's not a good idea and you'll get more bad than good.

Keep in mind different slots have different bandwidth and may effect performance

Ok, Thanks for the responses. I wasn't sure. I read the manual as well I know it says single card use slot 1, but I searched around and couldn't find other reasons as other slots were same. But thanks again Ill leave everything where it is.
