lol. i think you can squeeze it in depending on the mobo or i think you can do it from the outside too.

and FYI its called an i/o shield not a motherboard plate haha :P

when i read the title i thought you meant something like the armour on my maximus vi formula or something along those lines.

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only a GTX 1080, just a single 1080, where my glorious PC once stood....

For that is all I need, For the Emperor of Man, Jen-Hsun Huang, protects. We march for Nvidia, and we shall know no fear!

I bought my board like 60% off as an RMA, I don't have (or use) an I/O shield and don't have any problems :)
