I'm in the middle of assembling my new PC, (Yes, this late) when I noticed something odd with my CPU Cooler. While looking at the part list in the manual, I now see that I only have 2 Rubber Pads when there should be 4. I'm certain only 2 came in the box. From a illustration, it shows 4 of them being used during fan installation... Do I really need 4 Rubber Pads? Or is there a work-around for this?
 
Solution
there should be 8 rubber pads I think...

I suggest just not using any rubber pads, the pads only help reduce vibration

You're talking about the pads for the fan mount right?

EDIT: Here is the block of 2x4 pads

I found 4 already applied to the fan itself at corners. About the other 4... At first I was confused by that picture because it looked like you had the same number of rubber pads that I got, then I read "block of 2x4"... I checked closer & sure enough, they were all there. I didn't notice the slit between them, so it looked like 2 pads instead of 4. Hahahahaha whoops... What a big embarrassment on my part... Thank you.

Usually leaving anything out of CPU fan install package is not a good idea.

I do wonder what goes in your (or for the matter, anyones) mind when you put "urgent" in the summary of public forum post. If your situation is really urgent then call the official support.
