Does anyone know what Asus intends for the pad on the back of this motherboard, the A8N32 SLI Deluxe?
No instructions. I think I would ordinarily have expected, nothing but air, but there is this small foam pad that is attached.
I am not refering to the cpu socket support on the back and the cpu area on the back is not covered by this pad.
Does it play a role in transfering heat to the back of the motherboard? I was thinking better for board to breathe..but, It appears pad belongs, but since I don't see this pad on back in pics I see for reviews and while asking this a little late.. I already have the new motherboard with this pad on back installed into my case... with all left to do being to turn it on..
Just a final check.. is it ok to leave on.. or do I need to remove this pad?
No mention in booklet that I could find that came with board from Asus.
