how friendly is doubblesided foam tape to motherboards and electronics?

[Bananasplit_00]

sooooooooooooo yah. will mounting my motherboard with this stuff:

 

 

break my motherboard as soon as it gets power? like its not like i have another array of options, its kind of that or nothing, but id like to have some amount of idea before i do it lol.

 

thanks for any help and any replies

It will likely be okay, but a bitch to remove. Maybe mounting down standoffs would be easier.

standofs arent even remotely an option here, trust me i would have made my own if i had the chance. the best other option i have thought of is some paper/cardboard and that stuff. what i got on hand isnt super limited but there are no mounting holes i could use and drilling holes for standofs isnt an option sadly

Double sided tape is not friendly on any thing, it will always leave residue but will hold whatever in place.

As long as you're careful with the placement and load-bearing. Otherwise, try anchors or nails.

It should work fine but you wont get it off again without damaging the the board

its mounted laying down instead of standing up like normal, forgot to mention that. the tape just needs to hold it in place

aaaa thats not really good  id like it if i could sell this motherboard off after im done with it

You think so now, just wait until you come up with a bright idea and need to remove the tape and peel the PCB or rip something off the PCB.

Laying down or upside down? If it's just laying horizontally, go for it. Upside-down, don't even try.

You just need a blow dryer to soften the adhesive. 

[r4tch3t]

You could always get a motherboard tray or sheet of metal, stick that to ehere you need it, then screw the standoffs in

Good idea or not for motherboard, I've found out that even good mounting tape looses its strength with heat. I had really good mounting tape (same stuff took a chunk out of my wall when I ripped it off) fall off from LED strips I mounted with it. 

Cut down a motherboard tray to the same size as the board and mount that.

this stuff would be on the rear so as long as it dosent rip off the top layer im good, got no components i can think off back there that i cant avoid placeing it on

how about a 1.6KW heatgun?

nope not an option here, thats another thing i thought i might be able to but i havent got the resources to buy anything in for this and i dont feel much like cutting up some case i have around.

that option isnt there for me because of metioned above. but good to know

Go for it. As long as you're not working on a 9590, you should be good with that heatgun!

[Bananasplit_00]

ok well thanks for all the info, good to know and feel free to note more things but looking through my pile of cases i have found another one id like to use for something and this is actiually pretty much perfect

its an FX chip but not that monster, anyway i found another fun case to use for it among my storage under my desk, but all this wasent in vain because i will probably have quite a bit of use of it in the future

if u have wet adhesive connecting 2 little pins close together it can fry  / short

 

if its not wet adhesive it should be fine

its sticky and tacky, neither really wet or dry

wht do u need to do with it on ur mobo anyway?

 

aslong it isnt conductive ur fine tbh ( hence why mentioned wet, some adhesive is a lil wet and those r conductive )

You can I would recommend to mount the board onto a plate just for some extra airflow behind it.

its like i said, that stuff or nothing if it was to be the way i intended but i have since found myself a better solution thats still almost as fun without haveint to risk this  thanks for the move

honestly for that i would just take the mobo on the table and play with the mobo loose on the table lol

 

motherboard box best case imo gg

You could always double side tape mount it onto some stiff foam blocks that would have the same effect to get it off the surface, but it should be perfectly safe even if you just tape it directly to a backer board like plexi or something non-conductive.

u like my custom lan case?

 

 

 

pst i am lan master

 

for gpu just take off the io plate and stick it in the slot lol

bruh check out the Toaster Project and the LAN PC  thats pretty nice use of a motherboard box though! il be sure to mention you when i post the build of what i ended up doing instead of the tape tho
