Thats fine. A lot of people do that to clean up all the cables in the case. There isn't reall much airflow back there anyway unless you cut your own hole and added a fan.

I would cut a whole and add a fan to be safe

The only thing I would look for is keeping the area behind the north and south bridges clear. Although there is admittedly little airlflow on the backside of the motherboard, inadvertantly insulating these hot areas can't help.
If you intend to retain the foam pad, cutting a hole and adding a fan would avail you little. Better to leave well enough alone.
