You said it, it's a NOT a standart board as far as the HSF goe's.
I read somewhere that a stock cooler will do the job without a backplate. Can anyone confirm?

With the stock cooler that you get with the processor, you do NOT need a backplate. I got this huge honkin thing with heatpipes to cool my cpu and without the backplate, it probably would have ripped the cpu mount right off the board. But yea, you should be fine if your using stock cooling.
