I think that this would be better posted in the cooling section.

But to answer your question. It depends on the dimensions we are talking about. Yes it could cause problems. The best way to tell though is to try both ways. That way you have the experience with what works best for that type of application.

it all depends on what the airflow will do. it varies from setup to setup. that is why it is trial and error. it shouldn't take more than 20 minutes or so to come to a conclusion.

^^^^^ that is very common. I did the same thing with my X-Dreamer II and had the same kind of results. I have played around with different locations for a side fan and the best results that I got were with it located at or about the middle of the vid card.
