airflow guide

The airflow guide on your system ensures that the proper volume of air for cooling the voltage
regulator modules (VRMs), processor, and processor power module flows over these
components.
You may need to replace the airflow guide if it becomes damaged to the point that airflow across
the processor is restricted. You may need to remove the airflow guide to gain access to
components under it.
