weird sticky pad found in case

[namedmichael]

A couple of weeks ago I was upgrading my pc's ssd and cpu cooler when I found a couple of these pads in the case (see attached). I have no idea where they came from but I didn't think much of them and attached them to the pack panel of the case. The pc is running nice and cool however just a few minutes ago I found another of these pads underneath the gpu through the tempered glass side panel. Like I said the pc is working fine but I'm curious as to what they are.

Too thick to be a thermal pad, at least. Possibly isolators to cushion pieces of the case to keep them from rattling or to ensure proper alignment. Which case, BTW?

cooler master mb311l at first I thought it was a thermal pad but like I said my pc has been operating fine but now that you mention it I do hear a rattling from somewhere... but why was it under my graphics card?

Gravity, more than likely...

 

Meaning it had to have fallen from somewhere. And fans could have blown it about anywhere inside the case once it fell.
