Just a thought. If possible, try to leave at least one of the slots
next to your graphics adapter empty for extra ventilation, even if it
has a fan. My hardware geek tells me that using every other slot is
best if you have the room because even if you have enough fan power, the
cool air still has to reach the cards.
I agree that on cheap hardware this might be needed, however, I don't
think it's the case on good systems. A lot of thought goes into the
design of the hardware, so things like overheating don't occur.
