Exactly what it's for. I didn't end up using any washers, at least I don't think. Definitely not all of them.

Yea, I didn't use the small plastic washers either. I couldn't find anywhere that said where they were suppose to go.
Also, are those temps at stock speeds? vcore?
1.93vcore w/ full load at 41c, while comp is silent. I haven't tested the load temp with all my fans blasting.

sapphire 9600xt
19" 1800flat panel (digtal)
this is my 1st build and 1st at ocing so I am learning. I cut the grills and trying to figure out where to hide all the wiring
I used my smart fan from a volcano9 for a intake now i just need to replace the antec fans they supllied me when buying the case I used Ceramique but I am not sure if i put enough. I used a very very thin layer. My girlfriend is already *******g about the tornado ! If she keeps it up I will get a couple more and run this mfer with no controller

This is what it says at the thermalright website concerning the washer placement on the SP-97 install.THE FANMAN
**"When install Standoffs, make sure you place the plastic washers (large) underneath the standoffs so you will not short out the components on motherboard."**
