Io shield installation.

[Nerdy Nerd]

Ok I know this is suppose to be an easy part to install. My motherboard is a h170 and the shield that came with it has a sticker like thing on it except it is not a sticker but it is removable. Is it ok to remove it? Could the shield just be the bare metal with the holes cut out if course? Thanks.

yes.

It depends. Some IO shields have replaced the old "fingers" of metal with a spongy metallic surface instead. That has to stay on. Which H170 do you have?

Ok I got it, thanks.

no problem.
