Nope, plus you need to remove it as there are 2 screws underneath

I just cut the washers from thick paper and drilled holes through - quick and easy - it is about the thickness of the standard washers which EK includes for example for the waterblock for last 2 screws where the fan holes are (I actually used couple of those exact washers - didn't use them for those screws as they raise the screws).

Hope that helps
