What are the rubber circles for on the back of my pc case? Should I just leave them like that if don't have a need for them? Or are they likely to let I'm dust into the motherboard?

Edit: thanks for all the replies, so just for water cooling I have no need for.

Definitely an NZXT. Looks really similar to the back of my Phantom 820

Edit: Ya it's an NZXT Phantom 530

I know the Corsair 800D used to have these. This looks different, but might be in the same line.

It's for safety, to protect any unexpected insertions, you first want to wrap parts in rubber. Otherwise you get a virus.
