When swapping out mobo, do you need those foam pads for the backplate?
I currently have the thermaltake 2.0 pro all in one loop. The backplate pad, had these two sticky pads when I first installed it, well I want to switch to a better motherboard. Will I need new pads, or can I run without them, just screw the backplate that came with the thermaltake set to the new mobo without pads. The new motherboard is a sabertooth 990FX Gen 3 R2.0, pretty damn thick and solid. Because I sort of wanted to do this like....RIGHT NOW lol, and before I start taking apart my computer I need to be sure I can just mildly rip/remove the current ones, clean the plate and just screw it to the new mobo. While were on the subject how do I get the current plate off because they had glue on them. Do I rip them off, use some sort of remover? The pads under the big bold letter E.
