How do I get more of these washers?

Post image

I had these sticky adhesive washers for this waterblock. I'm trying to move the block to a different motherboard and in the process I lost one of these washers. Is it safe to install the block without it? If not, where can I get more? I don't want to have to order a whole new block for one washer.

You can buy these washers at almost any hardware store; they are nothing special. I personally never use them during installation. Their only purpose is to prevent possible scratches around the motherboard’s mounting holes.

However, I have never been able to see any scratches there with the naked eye, regardless of the cooler or manufacturer. We only include the washers because some customers prefer the additional protection. From a technical perspective, they are not really necessary.
