Abstract
Cooling airflow through an information handling system is redirected at positions of a motherboard having an unpopulated processing component towards positions of the motherboard having processing components. For example, a shroud shaped as a nozzle couples to a heat sink connector of the motherboard to cover an unpopulated CPU socket. The shroud has a nozzle-shaped channel with an inlet accepting cooling airflow and an outlet exhausting the cooling airflow towards a processing component. For instance, the inlet is proximate a cooling fan and the outlet directs the airflow from the cooling fan towards a heat sink associated with RAM populated on the motherboard.
