I believe the small fan he is talking about is the one mounted on the Crest Card itself (see ghostwriters post #178, the picture on right shows the fan)
I now have all 4 PCIe slots filled and I would guess the answer is yes, there is more heat generated, because as I mentioned there now seems to be more (slightly louder) and constant fan noise coming from my machine. Such that because I am in a one room situation. I will now have to address that noise while trying to record more so than before (It's always somthin'
)
