Metal Fan grille

Post by axsnetworks » Sat Nov 21, 2009 9:04 am

Hello Everyone
I have one simple question...
does the metal fan grille found in most cases and PSU affect cooling and the flow of the air??
maybe you are asking what kind of fan grill I'm referring to, well for one the one found on the enermax modu +82 http://www.silentpcreview.com/article806-page1.html
So the question is... should I remove the fan grill, or just forget about it as its not that restrictive...
thanks guys....

Hi,

The wire grill over the fan itself is not very restrictive, but it can't hurt to remove it, either -- unless you stick your finger in while it is running.
