Help with CPU cooler mounting and another thing

[DrBonesMcCoy]

I am looking to get a ASUS Z370 maximus hero but saw there are capacitors to the left of the socket. Will these interfere with my H115I? Also I am sending off my mobo/ram/cpu/cooler as it is being sold. what is the best way to package it? Bubblewrap? Thanks

No the block and mounting should clear the capacitors. As for packing your best to put them in antistatic bags or antisatic bubble wrap before packing them up and boxing them up for shipping.

As long as you put it in an antistatic bag first it's not ideal to just use regular bubble wrap directly onto the components.

They're not very expensive online, it just to help guarantee the components don't have the chance of being affected by static:

Could I use the anti static bag that comes with my new mobo tomorrow?

Yes that would work perfectly, you can use some regular bubble wrap after just to make sure it doesn't move around in the box during shipping.

So Put the mobo etc in the Anti static bag (After ensuring the new mobo works etc incase i have to send it back), then wrap it in bubble wrap and put it into the envelope

Ideally I would put in a small flat rate box at the very least since it will offer a lot more protection than even a padded envelope. Don't want the board to end up in pieces when they toss it around in the mail service.

I'll try to find a box for it then. I have an old shoe box that I could just fill with bubble wrap lol
