Are the logic board shields useful?

I was wondering if it is okey to just remove the shields permanently, I could’t find anyone saying you always need to have them or not so I’m asking before I remove them.

Answered! View the answer I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

The shield is for cooling the big chips, isolate EMI noises. Without installing the shield, the board still turns on but you may experience reduced stability and RF performance.

I advise you not to remove the shield from the logic board, even if removed it must be returned to its place because it has a important function, They protect the components beside them from the heat, Such as processor heat
