Hi /g/ What are these white squishy things called, that are

>>55755082
Thermal tape I think

>>55755082
Thermal interface pads. There's supposed to be a heatsink on top of them.

>>55755082
looks like jewing gum?

>>55755082
Was there previously a backplate on the card?

Ah so that explains it, they act like a 'thermal paste' similar to the way cpu's are set up?

Nope, I just found them lying around and placed them there. I have seen them on boards before but not with a heatsink attached. They have some sort of paper on the exposed side which I assume I have to peel off and then place a heatsink on?

mini marshmallows

standoffs, so you can stick on a backplate without shorting all the exposed metal bits
