OCZ point out that by using a backplate it will stop the motherboard bending/warping which will mean that the VRM heatsinks and other integrated cooling solutions won’t be bent out of place too and so it maintains the boards optimal cooling. They also suggest that the backplate on the back of the motherboard will dissipate more heat and keep the motherboard cooler.
