I mean you're not kicking the damn thing it should be fine.

 

I would balance out the standoffs though. All 4 corners and the middle at least. That way you should be fine

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861
