The metal back plate on my new coolermaster V8 heat sync touches the back of my case causing my motherboard to short and I was thinking of putting some insulating material in between the back plate and the motherboard. I don't really know any good non conductive materials to put in a computer and was thinking of using some cardboard but am not sure if that would be something you would want a couple millimeters away from a chip that can get 70*C +. If I didn't use cardboard could I use electrical tape or duct tape instead?
