@AVG Yep, that radiator looking thing does a pretty good job of cooling  |
I would guess a dust thing also. Imagine getting dust out of the diodes, Then again, there is a fan blowing across it anyway. Who knows.
Yeah I bet it keeps it cool. You see in mine the sideways mount for the CPU cooler? I was a bit leary about this set up and the performance. It works very well. Blows the heat back towards the larger exhaust fan. As you can see the intake fan right on top of the CPU fan area. Constantly pushing cool air to the CPU fan and the CPU fan pushing it out. You can not see it but behind the little radiator type deal for the CPU there is a vent that channels air to the mobo itself.
