If you want to avoid that you have to add a fan, and even then slot size restrictions obstruct good quiet fans. Furthermore, your CPU needs good cooling much more than the GPU; GPUs have considerably higher tolerance for heat and considerably lower heat production than the CPU. Furthermore, the great majority of users won't even be stressing the GPU with video games at all. (And most of them won't be stressing the CPU either but thats a whole different story). Cooling this form factor effectively with two quiet fans will be quite easy; especially since the CPU receives ambient air which is efficiently vented; despite the 'preheating' of case air, case temps could easily lowered below your usual ATX case temps with the right configuration.

What? Non of what you said makes any sence and one point counters the other. Well whatever. Time will tell.
