Discovered an unusual adhesive pad inside the storage box.
I was installing my PC's SSD and CPU cooler a few weeks ago when I discovered these pads inside the case (see attached). I have no idea where they came from, but I didn’t think much of them and put them on the case panel. The computer is running smoothly, though recently I found another pad under the GPU through the tempered glass side panel. As expected, the PC is functioning well, but I’m curious about their purpose.
Too dense for a thermal pad, maybe some isolators to protect parts of the case from shaking or to keep them aligned. By the way, which case are we talking about?
At first I thought it was just a thermal pad, but now I notice a rattling noise coming from under my graphics card. It’s strange since the PC is running normally, but I’m curious about its location.
