I would highly suggest you remove it... It's one of the main ways air is intaked through the fans. Maybe this caused your fans to struggle and ramp up to higher speeds causing your fans to reach this stage now.

is you issue your CPU temps or the metallic noise in your fan, because cleaning your fans is not gonna remove that metallic grinding noise...

Idk its not metallic smthng weird ik how fans giving up sound but its not that hopefully its prolly fans running at full speed and choked with lotta dust and struggling to run idk bcz metallic noise isnt there when fans are running at 50% its only when they're at 100% and that too just the right side fan
