I/O Shield Prevents lining up?

[Tim Drake]

So I was installing my parts in my new Corsair Air 540 yesterday and I seemed to have the problem of the screws couldn't line up with the standoff while the I/O plate was in no matter how hard I tried.

 

It worked without the I/O plate so I left it out to do it another time.

 

How could I solve this? I tried ripping off the cushion from the I/O plate but that didn't help

Maybe try installing the I/O shield backwards, made that mistake yesterday

Wut

 

How can I install it backwards....

 

One has writing on it and one is cushion..

Can you provide several detailed pictures?

 

Specifically of the rear I/O shield from the back (outside) of the case, as well as the inside of the case? Then a picture of the motherboard trying to line up with the IO shield.

 

Either your case is defective, or you're doing it wrong (no offense/judgement), so let's find out which, so we can figure out how to solve this for you

It's not the case because I had similar problems with the previous case

You may need to bend a few of the tabs on the IO shield to make it fit. The large tabs are typically meant to sit along the side of the ports they cover, so you'd bend them in about 90 degrees.

Again, please provide the requested pictures, otherwise we can't really help you If it's not the case, then it could be the IO shield itself or some other factor.

Really cba taking it all apart for a while

 

I can take picture of the I/O Shield and ports without an I/O shield I guess

Well that would be better then nothing, though unless there's something glaringly obvious wrong, that likely won't be enough information. You're using the IO shield that came with your motherboard, yes? You said you encountered this before - was it with the same IO shield and motherboard in a different case?

Yup
