Do the mobo covers cause any retention of heat? Sorry if this is a silly question. Just curious. Also, great setup.
Normally no - they normally incorporate an extra fan to push air underneath the armor and the armor protects from the heat of the gpu I believe
Is there a common technical term to call these if I were to look them up?
ASUS TUF Series. I don't think there are mass market components like these made for non-first party motherboard manufacturers. Basically the ASUS TUF Series is all I've heard of that does this and they only make them for their motherboards.
