  I assume he is talking about an Octane (because of the "MXI").

  Same is true for the Octane (although the airflow is handled in a
  slightly different way).  On both systems it's essential for the
  wellbeing of the graphics option (or system as a whole) to place it
  so that the hot air can move freely away from the system. And it's a
  good idea to examine it from time to time - just to see if it hasn't
  collected too much dust.
