Most people have these suck in at the front of the case and blow out the back. That will at least tell you if you can run the system with the cover on without any problems.

As for the Heatpipe ASUS M'Boards they need to suck Air in through the back of the case where the Shield is on most Computers. So you need cool air to get to the back of the case or the system will continue to run hot and possibly Overheat.

Also have you tried changing the settings in BIOS to a higher Lever to stop this happening? 75 C for the CPU/s is perfectly safe and most times reliable.

im no comp wizzard, i looked into the bios but couldnt work out how to change temp settings, on the screen it has. cpu voltage override default & if i enter there the top of list is 1.6000v bottom is 1.2875v with lots inbetween. enhanced power slope. frontside bus voltage override 1.2507. mch/ich voltage override 1.525. current processor voltage. processor multiplier override = automatic. host clock frequency(mhz)= automatic. any idea which 1 to change? i have ample fans, i big at front 2 big joined together at back it sucks more air through the unit than a thai bar girl could & thats no mean feat, if i have side case on it will run 1 to 2 mins if lucky so is no option, i have a table fan with 1 foot blade sitting right against comp just pissus me off when early hours in cold season, get cold feet ankles, not good for arthritis anyway i appreciate any feedback regards rob rouse

But if you care to list your M'Board Make & Model I'll point you to the right place in the Owners Manual on Altering the BIOS Heat Settings. The Voltage Settings [b]Are Not[/b] the place to try this and I would really recommend leaving these on Auto to prevent any damage to the unit.

Of course if it has been overclocked then the possibility of Overheating is greater.
