Question Question about leaving plastic cap on ARGB fan header

[Neo_Arkanus]

Hello! I purchased a Corsair RS140 fan, which (among other things) comes with an ARGB connector for the motherboard and another one that allows you to connect multiple fans together.

That second connector (which I'm not planning to use) comes with a plastic cap covering the header's pins. The question is: should I leave the cap on, or I should remove it instead?

I'm afraid of removing it and causing an electrical short or something if the headers' pins touch the case or the motherboard. Would the plastic cap burn, melt or something if I leave it there? What do you recommend?

If the cap is securely in-place, then leave it.

I'd like to hear why do you think it would be bad to leave it on if not used ????

The answer to your question is ..... if its not broke dont fix it

It's neither broke nor it needs fixing, it's just an insulator against possible short.

What i meant was if its not causing a problem leave it where it is
