    Here's the response I got from Gigabyte...

    Removing the crazy cool backplate will void the warranty, removing the crazy cool heatsink will cause the northbridge to overheating and the other 2 portion where the heatpipe is on top.
    This guy is funny... the manual tells you how to remove the backplate - so... I don't know what he's saying it voids the warranty...

    Whatever, either way I got a perfect cut done today.

    And my response...

    But the manual tells you how to remove the backplate in case the owner has a heatsink that requires bottom mounting. Why would the manual tell the buyer how to remove the backplate if it voided warranty?

    Would Gigabyte rather me use the Intel stock heatsink which lets my quad load at 75C or a better heatsink which keeps my load temperatures under 60C - and effectively keeping the motherboard area around the CPU socket cooler.

    Please don't tell me the motherboard will overheat without the Crazy Cool backplate because I know it will not. The passive cooling heat pipe system is the largest passive cooling system I have seen on any motherboard. And combined with the fact that I have fans mounted to that passive cooling system - not a chance unless I decide to go overkill on all of my voltages which I do not do. Other motherboard so not have a heat-pipe system at all, and no backplate, and yet those do not overheat.

    Now, please give me a serious response, on the warranty issue if it really is voided or not if the plate is removed, and if it voided please tell Gigabyte to remove page 16 section 1-3-3 in the Gigabyte P35-DQ6 manual, because that is the entire step by step page on how to remove the backplate - and no where does it mention a warranty being void.
