Heatsink backplate plastic rubber touching the solder joints of Mobo.
Last response: in Overclocking
Hi
I am trying to install the Antec H2O 920 in my system with mobo Asus P8Pp67 pro but the adhesive foam in plastic backplate is covering come solder joints in the motherboard.Is this normal or should I revert back to stock heatsink.
Though the backplate is of plastic ,and there is no question of solder joints getting short,but I am afraid the adhesive might come down out of heat and may cause problems.![:pfff:]( ":pfff:")
Please guide.

it will be fine thats standard issue with pretty much all after market coolers with a back plate. i have even just electrical taped metal up back plates in the past with out issue when reusing hsf setups on new motherboards
Its fine, the job of that foam is to cushion any contact, protecting the joints on the mobo,
its non-conductive and its perfectly fine to have it touching, and given the surface area of the adhesive area, will not melt or cause any problem other than maybe being annoying to get off if you remove the plate in future
(If this is the case just re-use that plate)
