I posted some pics of the heatsink fan I got and was wonderimg if you put the small peice I got under the mobo and if this is what its for...! I am guessing you put it on the bottom so u can screw the actual heatsink into it...! I just dont want to short circuit a mobo...!

Thanx in advance,
Brian

I didn't see the pics but if the instructions didn't mention it, if the heatsink requires you to remove the stock cpu fan bracket, an insulated backing plate will be included that goes on the underside of the motherboard. the mounting screws will attach to it. Make sure the insulated side is the one that touches the motherboard.

And then as I posted, up came the pics. Nice looking cooler. From what I can see this will require you to remove the stock cpu bracket. Most motherboards have an insulated bracket and from what I can see it looks like all you'll have to do is remove the stock bracket and replace it with what you have in your hand.
