Yes?
I mean, its probably just sitting somewhere inside the PSU. If it does move them it might hit the fan but it is unlikely to cause any damage.
If you are really worried then you can open the PSU. Two things though; 1) that will probably nullify the warranty and 2) make sure that the PSU has been disconnected from the mains for a long while before you open it.
Oh, by the way, were those rubber things supposed to keep the PSU from touching the metal of the case? because they came off pretty easilyThe_Ronin129
They were probably to silence any potential vibration. The PSU casing can touch the case, it doesn't matter.
so thats the worst case scenario? and if it hits the fan, then what?The_Ronin129Break a fin at worst.
Don't understand why people are saying just leave it there. I certainly wouldn't have loose, unsecured things floating around in my PC, near moving parts. C_RuleI wouldn't leave it there either. Tip the case while pc is on and it could cause a problem, which warranty won't typcially fix either if a fin is broken.

C_RuleIf the rubber disc is lodged somewhere securely then it's likely not going to cause any harm. It COULD, yes, but it likely won't. Worst case scenario has it melting on a component that generates heat, or stopping a moving part (a fan). If the rubber disc i securely lodged in the PSU then it's not really anything to kick up a fuss about.
