    Alright, I hope this is in the right forum.

    Anyways, I have a IC7-MAX3 and I don't like the OTES that much and would like to take it off. Would doing so hurt the mobo at all?

    Nope shouldnt hurt it at all :)
    The OTES system on that board (iirc) does f'all anway, don't a load of caps block the fets or something? The 60mm fan cant do much anyway tbh...
    Just be careful when removing it, that you dont damage the board...

    OTES Cooling Technology
    In the interests of cooling and performance, OTES has been redesigned to cool the hottest part of a motherboard: the PWM power regulation mosfets and capacitors.


    Guess it wouldn't hurt; unless you have it oc'ed like hell; and those things are on fire
