Description:
Backplate to extend cooler compatibility for AM5 motherboards from AMD
Properties:
The AM5 Short Backplate is a shortened mounting plate that replaces the original AM5 backplate. Some CPU coolers compatible with the AM4 socket use a custom retention kit for mounting. Since the AM4 backplate is primarily used for mounting coolers, omitting this backplate is generally not a problem.
However, with the AM5 socket, the Socket Actuation Mechanism (SAM) is also screwed on via the backplate and cannot simply be omitted. In order to use
an AM4-compatible cooler with a custom retention kit, you need an alternative holder for the SAM of the motherboard.This is where the AM5 Short Backplate
comes into play and serves as a mounting plate for the SAM of the motherboard.
This extends the cooler compatibility to a wide range of CPU coolers. To protect against short circuits, the anodised aluminium plate is additionally covered
with an insulating layer of polycarbonate.

Bought to replace the stock backplate on my Asrock B650M, however the square cut out in the centre of this short back plate isn't large enough to clear the SMDs on the back of the board thus render this backplate useless!
