The back of my motherboard corrosponding to where those chips are (on the front of the motherboard) is completely covered with surface mount components and other solder points sticking out.
Placing a block on the back of the motherboard at those locations would touch these components - shorting them out.
Probably not possible to put a copper-built block on the back of the motherboard at these locations (on my NF7-S motherboard at least). One would need a silicone based block such as nicozeg made for his MOSFETs.

This question makes me think back to when video cards were much less powerful (say TNT 1 days). Back then and the back of the video card (above the GPU) was still completely flat and smooth on the surface of the PCB. Now-a-days that spot on video cards is littered with surface mount components...as this picture shows
