IO Shield

[RAM555789]

Any tips to avoid bleeding all over the place when removing those pesky pegs from the IO shield?  (my fingers bleeding so bad its dripping and I gotta stop so I don't get on my build)

[RAM555789]

Or should I say little metal tabs?

Prayer, mostly.

You could youse side cutters to remove them .I removed them form a IO shield yesterday and had no problems. As an alternative you can bent them back or wear gloves to install it (;

@RAM555789 The metal tabs on the IO shield are there for the grounding, so you shouldn't remove them.

I've hav always removed them from every build I have done, since they always get in the way of the mobo.

Just don't use a io sheild or buy one of those realy expensive mobos with the built in ones
