Hardware question, is it ok to use the original amd AM4 backplate to install the stand-off for a CM Hyper 212 cooler instead of using the CM provided plastic backplate. Just upgraded to a R5 3600 and dreading the idle temp.

Reddit says it's ok:

And so does the CM video embedded there.
Also, anyone tried the new bios:

Thanks for the reply. I just went and swapped it out.
Haha.
Idle temps with the Hyper 212 is in the low 40s and at 30% load, the cpu temp doesn't rise above 57C.
