Issues with h50 on P8P67 boards?

Just noticed this on the corsair forums

Seems that some components on the rear of the mobo will end up with the pads of the bracket of the h50/70 on them.

Pic of the rear of the mobo above, anyone know if this will cause issues installing a h50/70?

As long as there is the double sided tape in between the components and the bracket i dont see a problem.

Im more concerned about the pressure pressing against the solder joints as in the pics the joints seem a bit bulky in that area compared to the rest of the board. I notice theres still no official word from corsair about it either.

you could not use the tape, I just moved my H50 from a q6600/p35 to sandy bridge, had a look as I mounted it and with a little of the tape still stuck to it, there was plenty of clearance over the pins. the bracket is plastic as well so no worries about causing a short

also the tape was impossible to peel off my old motherboard
