Looks like from this review of the TDX that you use 4 included screws for mounting: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/DangerDen/MC-TDX/4.html Looks like a no on the backplate.

no it doesnt... the mounting system is terrible for those blocks (even though the block performs good i will say that)
if you get one the best thing to do is glue the bottom nut to the bolt that goes underneath the motherboard otherwise you'll be tightening it one day and it will fall off behind the motherboard.

LOL . . .I always do that. Also, use a brass knurled head screw right on top of the washer next to them mobo on the top part instead of a regular screw. That way you can tighten it easily (they come loose as well).

I have several backplates from Danger Den . . .you can get one custom if you call and ask for Debbi.

if you're one of those people who likes to tighten things down really hard to the board then i suggest getting one to avoid bowing the board, if you just tighten it till its tight and not like stressing tight then you wont need one.
