I’d like to give my card some room to breathe. It failed a digitest and I can’t even try a different slot bc the graphics card takes up the bottom 2, and doesn’t fit in slots 2-3.

I’m assuming your other slots are taken? The HDX will work fine in slots 2, 3 or 4 it’s only at x4 speed so doesn’t need the x16 sleek offered in slot two.
I have a Radeon RX580 in slot 1, angel wings px1 with Samsung 960 EVO in slot 2, then HDX in 3 and finally UAD quad in 4. It’s been 36°C over here recently and all was good (albeit a bit warm).
