I can't tell if Asus is stupid or Intel is being scummy but...



Purposefully blocking off air vents? Yall serious?

"Fresh air is drawn in from the bottom and the interior, and pushed out through the back edge, but the intake grills on the actual fans are covered with a plastic film, to channel the airflow over the heatpipes and the components. There’s no way to take out those covers without breaking the plastic pins that keep them in place, and thus voiding warranty."
"I couldn’t take them out and test the impact on this unit, but other reviews mention a 7-10 degrees decrease in CPU and GPU temperatures once that’s done, as well as a slight increase in performance."
