exactly. That coverplate really shouldn't make a difference (when the
front
panel is closed). If it does, the memory controller is likely marginal
anyways.
Secondly, the memory ribbon cables will act up far
more than they do
when this foam-lined metal plate is installed as the factory designed it
to be.
On all mine, the backing to the plate is a type of foam I haven't seen
elsewhere, it's definitely more like rubber than foam. I suspect this really
is the main reason for the coverplate rather than airflow.
