Yup i just fill it with eraser. Also be careful when tightening that pot up. Take a good look at the goldfingers and make sure you didn't warp it. It's easy to flex the card with that big gap. Some spacers might even have been a good idea.

1. Insulate the pot
2. eraser the front of the card
3. mount the pot
4. fill in all the gaps around the pot
5. flip it over on the pot side and eraser the back of the card. Do Not lift the card by grabbing the card with thee pot on it, always flip the card or move the card around by grabbing the pot not the card. The pot is really heavy and i can see aot of stress occurring there.
6. insulate the back of the card
7. insulate the front
8. i wrap it up with shop towels and tape them tight. They absorb a hugh amount of moisture.
9. i cut a slit in a shop towel flded in half and slide the goldfingers through it and then insert it in my prepped motherboard slot.

Thanks Bro, and I like the idea of some little spacers. Think I have some various lengths of plastic tubes that came with various components that I could size to fit. Glad to know I'm not the only one who thought erasering that gap up too

I did the card first, the the initial work on the pot (blue tape, armaflex tap) then I set the card onto it to see how everything looked - that's when I noticed the gap

I erasered the back of the card, then after I get the goldfingers (like that name ) on I usually add a couple layers of frost king on the back.

And where would we be without shop towels
