Hello I'm wondering if there would be any issue with removing the blue MSI logo that sits on top of my graphics card. I've just ordered a new cpu cooler and I'm afraid that it might not fit due to the logo sticking up from the card.

quoted from techpowerup "You will find MSI's GPU reactor on the back of the card. It uses an additional PCB to provide extra voltage filtering to the GPU. It has also been placed there to be as close as possible to the GPU, which maximizes its effect", so its not as simple as you think, its a cover for an additional PCB which provides additional voltage, so if you remove it, the additional PCB will be exposed adding the risk of a short because it sits taller than the backplate, i would not recommend removing it.
