Hi yesterday I purchased Corsair H80 and I today when I tried to install Corsair H80 I am not able to!. Behind the motherboard, to which I should fix the spider like attachment given by corsair, I am not able to do that. Out of 4 Holes, Only 2 holes of motherboard Is visible behind the cabinet and 2 holes are hiding behind the cabinet!


My Cabinet

This is that Spider like attachment I am taking about

and also the distance between the motherboard and the sheet is very thin.. If I take out the motherboard and install the cooler and reattach it in the cabinet, The spider like attachment is touching the sheet of the cabinet.. Is it a non-conductor of electricity?.. Will it do any harm if I attach this way?.. Please help me out guys...

Alright Guys.. Finally Installed the cooler! :) .. I tried cutting out the tray with hacksaw but didnt work out. Fortunately I have a wielding shop near by my home and i asked the guys whether they can cut it, Guess what?!, they said yes! :) .. So i went down with my cabinet and cut out the necessary part and i was able to install all the necessary kits for the cooler.. So after re-installing the motherboard, had to do cable management once again! :( since i removed everything from the cabinet before going to the wielding shop. Ok anyway i tried to took some pics.. So here is the final result..
