Can you?

I bought this second hand mobo for a client and was wondering coz then I will bother buying it off ebay.

 

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!

Just unscrew the motherboard and move it a bit to the side, put in the IO shield and screw the motherboard back in.

No, not really. You may be able to but you would be really forcing it in there

The one off of ebay gunna take like 3-4 weeks to get here. The clients taking wed. Lol hes not guna notcie and its not guna make a difference. Ill let him know and if he wants ill come install at his house but he should be okay without it. Cheers guys for the quick replies.

Can you push a steel bar through a train without damaging either? If so then yes, otherwise it's not really recommended

I am good at computer
