Rubber Stoppers for chipset WB

[DangerIsGo]

So I have a 680i MB and accidentally chipped the corner of my chipset with my MCW30 when swapping video cards, requiring me to RMA the board. My question is, do they rubber stoppers, kind of like the 4 rubber stoppers on an athlon XP chip, or a rubber ring that I could put around my chipset core under the block as to prevent this from happening in the future?

I haven't seen anything specific for this application but you may want to take a spin down to your local hardware store. I've seen small felt tabs that are normally used on cabinet doors to quiet them down when they close. You should be able to retrofit some of those to do what you are looking for.

Or you can get a 1" rubber O ring thin enough to fit the core thickness and lay it around the core.

I simple hole punch along with some self adhesive neoprene foam works wonders............

Use foam based spacers, as they can compress to ensure proper contact.

Rather than a slightly thick rubber o-ring = toasted chipset.
