Hi everyone I' ve recently bought this cooler for my GTX 580 and the performance is more then enaugh for me, but during istallation I forgot to put rubber rings:D. So I have a question for everyone- do I have to disassemble the cooler or shall I leave the way it works right now(without rubber rings)?
PS stock cooler and many coolers from thermalright don't have any rubber rings or stuff like that and they work just fine).
To my mind these rings are made to reduce vibration from the cooler to the PCB, or Am I wrong?
Thanks.
 
I do believe you are correct, the rubber rings are likely just to reduce a bit of vibration or to help with compression when screwing down. Seems like you are fine, and if it isn't vibrating it should be alright.
