Electrical tape on a motherboard?

So I'm fixing my xbox 360 (Red ring of death) and I'm doing the penny trick. One guide I'm using said I can just tape the pennies down to the motherboard with electrical tape. So my question is, can putting electrical tape on the motherboard harm it? My friend who knows a lot about computers said it should be OK since the tape isn't conductive, but I want to confirm it.
