with very restricted airflow to the fan with a card plugged into the PCI slot, which would also increase noise possibly. (I like to try keeping at least one full slot of space between a Vid card & its cooling unit in cases these days, years ago, was a different story, but since about 3 or so years ago with my 9700 Pro, on up to my current 8800GTS, like to have adequate airflow to my cards.)

I like i said above with a normal 92mm fan there should be the second pcie slot free and the bottom PCI slot, so that would give you the one slot rule you were looking for it is just that the tornado is 3 times fater than a normal fan is
