First off new to phase, so please forgive me for my ignorance.
I'm looking at getting the Rampage Extreme to run with phase, but have a bit of an issue with chip placement on the back of the board/socket area. As per pic.

The dew point here in Thailand is I'm lead to believe around 23c. I know from experience without the heaters on I have a major issue with condensation.
The chip on the back of the board obviously get's in the way of the heater pad. I'm wondering could I apply a square layer of foam with a hole in it(Chip size) to the back of the MB and then apply the standard vapochill mounting plate/foam/heaterpad on top of this. Would the rear heater still serve it's purpose with a layer of foam between it and the MB? Am I likely to crush that chip on the back when I tighten up the gasket to the MB?
Cheers ahead for any advice.
