I would like to install a large aftermarket cooler in my computer. I am certain it will fit, however, it will be a tight fit.
The sides of my case are lined with antistatic acoustic foam. Because the fit is a tight one, I am concerned that the CPU cooler might just barely make contact with the foam, which I believe would create a path to ground.
If that happens, could it cause damage to the computer components? Is it harmful for a CPU cooler to be grounded?
