I/O cover - back plate problem

[error_f0rce]

I purchased my ECS L4S8A2 mobo (http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWeb/Product...uID=22&LanID=0) off of eBay and it didn't come with a I/O cover, back-plate, whatever you call the flimsy metal piece that covers the spaces in between your mouse/keyboard jacks, onboard LAN, sound, USB etc. I've got a bunch of fans cooling this case and can feel air rushing out the back through this space where there should be a metal cover

Will this affect my cooling? Do I need to worry about this?

If so, where can I get my hands on a back plate for my mobo? I tried the manufacture website, no luck, eBay, no luck and NewEgg, no luck. The onboard sound jacks runs left to right, instead of up-down... can't find a plate that does that

Email the manufacturer's sales department. They will almost certainly be able to get you one for a very reasonable fee. Other than that, it looks like a straightforward backplate, just find one that has the same configuration.

but it wont affect your cooling it will probably perform now better then before
