Need I/O Shiled

wok951 · 06-18-2009, 12:25 PM

I don't know if this is the right forum but i bought a new motherboard recently to replace a bad one. The I/O Shiled of the old motherboard does not fit the new motherboard exactly. is there a way to get the I/O Shield for the new motherboard.

Hi
It's tinkering time.
I recommend you use a small file tool (for the finishing) along with a rasp (for the rough work).
It's something most PC enthusiasts have done time and again.

Just make sure you do it away from your system, anfd wipe the I/O shield carefully to remove any lose metal powder.

Of course, you can always check from the manufacturer of your system if they sell them.

No, it won't hurt, but you may find how convenient a house the inside of your system can be for spiders and such...
