Posted March 25, 2020 Hi! Im moving my stuff into another case with a different airflow. I’ll take the occasion to ask you guys, if it’s nessesary to remove those M.2 cooling-plates aswell as the cover on that propeller-thing on the motherboard. See image, before and after: My main question though, is: Does the fan (incoming air from the bottom of the case) have a huge influence on the little fan-thingy on the motherboard, which tries to cool down the heatsink beneath? Will the Air inside the heatsink get trapped and therefore the components underneath will get too warm? - I can plug it out it seams, but will that course problems? Heres a bigger view: (Im gonna have 3 fans down there btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 25, 2020 Its purpose built - I wouldn't remove that shroud. Blower style is blower style. This isn't an axial cooling solution. EDIT - PCI 4.0 gets hot on the chipset. Its the way it is to keep it cool.

By removing the shroud from the fan, you greatly inhibit it's ability to push air through the heat fins as it's a "blower" style fan, not a typical style fan. https://engineeringinsider.org/fan-blower-difference/ "Put as much effort into your question as you'd expect someone to give in an answer"- @Princess Luna Make sure to Quote posts or tag the person with @[username] so they know you responded to them!

Thx for the quick apply! The reason why i'm worried is because the manual told me to: But when i read further into the manual, i can see that they tell me to put them on again. But that's under a section called M.2 Installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 25, 2020 Author Okay! Thx for all the responses. I will put on all the cover thing again, and then hope, the upcomming air from the bottom of the case won't trap the hot air. (Or even worse make the little-fan thingy turn the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
