I/O Template Problem

[ajw06]

I have a I/O Template Problem. i bought a motherboard and a case for my first computer i am building. except the motherboard didn't come with a I/O template and the one supplied with the case doesn't fit either. Help me Please!!!

Look around eBay if you want but you can build and run a computer just fine without one.

this might sound silly but won't dust get inside

I/O face plates can be ordered directly from the motherboard manufacturer and in some cases if you bought one brand new and it didn't have one in the box they will just send you one for free.

call/email their support claiming you never got an I/O shield and ask if they will ship you one.

 

[ajw06]

will they still do it as they are a amercain company

 

[tlarkin]

no idea man, just saying its worth a shot. a lot of times yes, if it was their bad they will send you an I/O shield, if not it should be a nominal fee, or just go with out having one.

It you really had to have an IO shield and didn't want to pay whatever fee may be charged you could use a piece of duct tape and cut holes in it.
