Metal backplate

— the presence of metal backplate in the design of motherboard.

The backplate is a special plate located on the back side of the board (that is, on the opposite side from the connection slots). This feature is typical mainly for advanced "motherboards" designed for powerful systems: individual components of such systems (especially cooling) can be very heavy, and installing them directly on the board would be fraught with damage to it. And the metal backplate avoids this: it plays the role of an additional support that removes the main load from the motherboard. At the same time, such a plate is usually made thick and elastic enough to transfer even a very significant weight of components without consequences.
