Cathar, the plastic plates are quite flexible - you sure on this ?
I agree on the proper AMD back-plate. Much better solution.

Plastic plates Bill? Are we talking about the DFI backing plate? I am (obviously) not familiar with all the different variants that mobo makers are shipping, seemingly to cut $0.20-0.50c on costs here and there to the detriment of the correctly engineered reference standard that AMD set out.
