Hi guys, one question... I havea a gigabyte motherboard GA-Z170X-Gaming 5 and it has two like heatsink "protectors"(?), red/black/white color, one on top and other on the left side, i notice it has little spings and it moves if you pull/push it... My questions are if this move is normal? Whats the function of this? and any advice of touch/pull/push it?

Thanks!

Yes it is normal I have the same board. I can't really tell you the function of it because I don't know. But I know that you shouldnt try to move them or pull on them because they can get damaged
