It would just be for the aesthetics of my computer. I watched a video on someone making thermal armor for their motherboard and it looked like a fun thing to do. Thanks for your input, vMax I agree that the motherboard does look great and that it doesn't need thermal armor to do so. I think that you guys are right, at the end of the day it won't improve my computer and possibly do the opposite. I appreciate every ones advise and assistance with helping me decide if I should follow through with adding thermal armor to my motherboard which I will not do.
