So, im moving my main board to the R6 to be water cooled and when I took off the EVGA Superclock CPU cooler the cardboard "washers" stuck to the board on both the front and backside of the board. Should I leave them there or try to get them off?

The ones on the back ripped in half as they stuck to both the back of the board and the cooler backplate.
Also, if I wanted to reuse the cooler on another system, where can i get replacement washers?

    Look Baked on
     
    If your new cooler fits correctly, I'd leave them alone - less chance of breaking something
     
    Before adding TIM make sure your new cooler makes contact / does not bottom on the fiber washers

    Remove them. Soak them down with 99% isopropyl alcohol then remove them using your fingernail. You could contact evga for replacements.

    those are insulators to prevent the metal bracket from causing the smoke to come out
     
    These Might fit: (you'll need to check the details)
    Mainboard Glass Washers (Set of 8) Model: PP-ON09
     
    you could call EVGA, maybe they can help find some ?  https://www.evga.com/about/contactus/
     
    Check your MB box, maybe there are some that came with it ?

    I love it. It looks awesome. Except:
    Cant vertical gpu mount a 3-slot 20 series card - Have to water cool or get a 2 slot.
    I wish I could mount another Hard drive or two in the front of the case in the basement area with the case in the open layout with the 3.5" trays removed. 
    You either use the trays and can have more than enough (The case comes with six 3.5" drive trays and you could fit even more i believe if you got more drive trays somehow) or you switch the case to the open layout and shift that panel the drive trays mount on to the back of the case and only get to mount two 3.5" drives and have a ton of space in the case for a radiator and reservoir although since I'm only using a 240mm radiator i have a ton of room below the reservoir/pump/radiator that could have fit one or two 3.5" drives (Even more room would be available if i remove the 5.25" DVD drive bay).
    Also, basements/psu shrouds are cool until you realize it is a pain to plug modular psu cables into you psu if you plug the cables into the computer first rather than the psu...
