Even with active airflow it may not be enough, they suggest blocking the entire area. The Vitec and Pulse chips may not need additional cooling but will need airflow.
I am only referring to the Vitec inductor, not the VRM.. you are in fact confirming what I said: "The Vitec and Pulse chips may not need additional cooling but will need airflow"

It's interesting to read that the MC21's might not be sufficient to cool the VRM's.. something to further investigate.
