M MicVP New Member May 2, 2011 #1 Hi everyone, I'm Michael. I'm new here. I'm about to buy used CPU parts to build my own PC but there's no back plate included. Would this affect in the overall performance of my PC and would this damage my motherboard? What is the main purpose of back plate? Thanks a lot!!!
