hello.
so this is the bottom of the acer nitro 5 (AN515-45)

i want to reach the lowest possible temperatures while gaming on this laptop so i've installed eight 8cm 12v dc fans stacked on top of each other right underneath the intake vents as you see in the picture above. plus four vacuum coolers one at each vent. honestly the tempratures right now are decent they never go above 75c in most intense gaming moments otherwise its below 70c.
but still its not enough for me as im sure it could be better. im thinking about "cutting" those plastic lines shaping the rectangular intake using a mini drill (dremel) so it comes out as clean as possible and not even using a non conductive mesh to block the dust since i already took care of that (the dc fans underneath have a dust filter) and the environment where im using the laptop is so clean anyways.
but im not 100% sure about how this would effect the airflow inside the laptop as im not a specialist nor aerodynamics engineer..it could be good or it could be BAD which in this case i can fix it by just buying a new bottom cover..
so before attempting this irreversible action i thought maybe i should hear other people's opinions.

thanks everybody.
