So, I bought my lovely bit of computer an H70, half way through mounting I noticed the back-frame needs two thick pieces of double-sided tape on the back of the motherboard, presumably to soften the torque from the screws and reduce pressure on the frame.
Now, what concerns me is that only one side on the motherboard backside is free of soldering spots. I chose to assemble it with one tape hitting the free side but that meant the paralell tape hit a cluster of solds for capacitors on the front.
It's all together and ready to go but I'm really not safe with hitting the powerswitch untill I know if the tape bands are conductive or not...
