julio326 Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Hello, It´s my first time installing a cpu cooler (Corsair A50) and I have a question. I don´t know where to place the washers (black plastic). Which location is correct, example 1 or 2.? Thanks. PD: Sorry my bad english. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabrielT Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 I watch an installation of one of these online and the reviewer didn't use the included washers at all. If I had to guess though I would say that your first picture is the right way. The video I just watched is here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
julio326 Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Thank´s Gabriel. Even in the quick start guide doesn´t say. I contacted Corsair Tech Support. When they answer me, I tell you. By. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack_of_java Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 I just installed one of these on a gaming computer for a friend of mine. I'd recommend picture 2, as there is a little space between the bracket and the underside of the motherboard. Also, I think this is best to do it that way to put another barrier between the metal bracket and contact with the motherboard.

airman Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 Definitely picture 2. In picture 1, those washers are doing nothing to protect the motherboard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

julio326 Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Corsair Tech Support responded my doubt: Technical Support Picture number 2 is the correct way to apply the washers, let me know if you have any other questions! 10/7/2010 6:32:21 PM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
