Graphics Amplifier GPU Support

Hello everyone,

I ordered a Graphics Amplifier early last month and while I am waiting to get it, I had a few questions concerning which graphics cards I can put in there. I will be plugging it into an Alienware 15R2 (i7 6700HQ, 970m, 8GB RAM) and was thinking about putting a GTX 970 in the amplifier. 

I have two main concerns:

- What sort of clearance do I have at the top of the amplifier for PCI-E power cables? I want to make sure I get a GPU with power plugs oriented best for the amplifier.

- Is there going to be a massive difference in thermals between a blower type cooler and an open air design? My assumption is that a blower style would be best but they tend to be more expensive for some reason.. so if I can use an open air cooler I will. If the amplifier is not going to allow for adequate cooling of a GPU with an open air cooler, then I will get a blower style cooler.

Thanks,

Ved
