Good day to everyone at the SFF Forum!
I purchased a Gigabyte H77N-WIFI second hand, and I am running into issues mounting a Cryorig C7. With every possible orientation, it rests on a few capacitors and the little black boxes (not sure what they are, excuse my ignorance). See picture below of the motherboard layout. I checked online and there are mixed feelings. I have a L9i coming in this afternoon to try as well, but wanted to see if anyone has run into this and what they have done.
My question is: It doesn't appear to damage any of the components when tightening the CPU cooler, but could I add thermal pads for extra protection? Or should I add electrical tape and gaffers tape?
Thank you in advance!
