There is an Open the hatch function in Armory Create for maintenance but I couldn't find a single test that details the closing system, it just notes that there is a drop sensor to close it in case of shock but no one drops it to test 🙂
it is to be hoped that it does not close automatically when launching a game without Aerocooler connected

It might be interesting to know wheter or not we can open the vent without having the cooler attached. As having it open would increase cooling capabilities quite a ton as it doesnt trap hot air inside the phone.

@Mattias_ASUS Can we open the latch without cooler attached?

The latch can be opened for cleaning but can't be kept open outside of the cleaning routine, it will close immediately to prevent damage to the internals.

You have your answer, and the confirmation that asus does not design the cooling system with players, opening the hatch when launching a game with Armory Create without AeroCooler would have been a nice option, estimated -5°
The hatch is ideally located at the top for the evacuation of hot air.
The fan is not essential in many situations, ambient temperature around 20-25° and when the AirTriggers are sufficient. The tactile back of the 5 Ultimate would have made the 6D absolutely TOP.
At the same time, even if I don't see what risk there would be with a normally constituted player, when you work in a maintenance service, the position of asus is understandable 🤣

Not entirely sure how I feel about your last point. Does the fan have a filter? If not, then I fail to see how a user is going to make it worse having it open without fan vs with fan.

@Danishblunt
haha, me neither but I did specify a normally constituted user. (I'm talking about the brain)
use it outside in the rain, by the sea or near a sandbox, spill your drink, put it in your pocket or bag, force it closed by hand, there is no limit to the stupidity of some 🙂
For the filter, not seeing its presence in the exploded views, however, the AeroCooler seems to blow the air inside, a small removable filter would have been a good thing
