Will this short the motherboard?

[BaddieMcBad]

Hey guys, I have an antec sonata III case, and it has no motherboard cutout in the back.

If I put a backplate ( for a CM hyper 212 evo) on the motherboard and it makes contact with the case, will it short out the board?

Thanks.

The backplate should come with some risers to keep it above the exposed solder points on the motherboard, so you should be good to go. If it doesn't, you can make some risers and install them between the motherboard and the backplate.
