Cooling Shroud
Removing the Cooling Shroud
CAUTION: The computer will be populated with one or two CPUs. Currently, when
there is a single CPU installed, airflow can bypass CPU1 which increases fan
speeds and therefore leads to poor acoustic performance. Adding a mylar piece in
this region redirects airflow across CPU1. The mylar piece will need to be removed
when the 2nd CPU is installed as it is no longer needed and will interfere with the
heat sink.
