soundcard under video card
i guess theres no other way but since the fan on the video card is blowing air down toward where the pci slots are if i install a sound card there is gonna be trouble? would i want to reverse the fan on the video card from suck to blow.

I think the picture below describes his setup a bit better than his words are!!!! I believe the fan on the graphics crd is blowing air towards the sound card and he is worried about heat issues on both the sound card and the graphics card.
If this is the case then there is nothing to worry about you may see a bery tiny rise in temperature but nothing to worry about.

1. You dont wanna reverse it ... the fan isnt powerful enough for that
2. You'll be ok (with the soundcard) ... if yer not .. than you already have overheating issues with the videocard
