So I've been pondering a question about my NVME card in Slot 5, with an MPX card below it, and the afterburner in slot 7*...
Should I replace the slot cover in slot 6 with a mesh grille version, to increase airflow out, or will that cause a reduction in the volume of air forced out of slot 5, through the Highpoint's cooling vanes?
This is probably within the error bars for measurement, but nonetheless a fun thought experiment.
Your opinions?
*The Highpoint 1104f's fan fouls on the bottom of the Afterburner if they're in adjacent slots - I'm considering doing a heatsink swap to an 1104 (fanless).
