Nice backplate design and loving the DDC heatsinks.Regarding the backplate, if the motherboards are prone to warping, perhaps the forces applied to the motherboard between the heatsink mounting points and the cpu socket are still an issue even with the metal backplate. Maybe consider a CPU socket and heatsink combo backplate to replace the stock cpu one? This eliminates bending forces because of a single mounting plane.I use an old black EKWB MX backplate that served me well over the years, no warping or bending of motherboards and it sits flush against the motherboard which is perfect for sandwich sff cases.
