B-Grade Boards - where to get an I/O shield?

goodl · 7 Aug 2012 at 10:02

I bought a B Grade Asus P8H61-M for my secondary i5 2600k build but as is the norm with B stock it came with no io shield. Is there anywhere I could source one, I have looked on the e auction site but no dice.

Did you look particularly hard?

mad that its 40% of the cost of the board for a piece of metal, I'll watch out for that in future

I used to get them from China or US... via eBay

Get a bit of copper foil and make your own, scribe the ports onto it and then tape into place, ugly but functional, and who looks at the back of their pc all the time anyway.

use cardboard and tape! doesn't need to be metal.

ghetto but better than £12 for something you never see I suppose

You don't need them if I'm honest. There's enough holes in your system as it is. We did get some spares from gigabyte and start amending this I'm not sure if we can get more though.
