Soo...

Just building my new computer, and made a little boo boo... When installing the backplate for my heatsink (Qelid Tranquillo Rev 2) I dropped one of the little stickers to space between the backplate and screw.

Is this a massive issue or can I carry on with out it?

Also... Is there anything I can use as a substitute?

Thanks

So eerrr, wheres this sticker now?

Are you meaning the Black spacers that stick to the front face of the board?

I can't find it

is it vital? Is there anything else you would suggest I could use/cut out instead?

You will want something that is obviously the same thickness, and if its "squidgy" then that also.

I THOUGHT they where their to stop you from overtighting the screws and scratching the screw hole on the board, i dont think its to insulate or anything stupid like that

It just looks like a piece of paper, is its purpose just to stop it conducting?

Just get a little silicon/plastic washer of a similar size, or 4 of them so it all matches

If it's those really thin ones, then it's not crucial.
