Need URGENT help with my pc!

[Random_User123]

MB: Asrock AB350 Pro4
Case: DIYPC Ranger R4-R 

Problems:
Missing screws to mount the motherboard.
The damn IO shield is just a bit too big and won't fit and allow to motherboard to sit correctly.

What do I do???

Is there a way I can just put the IO shield on the outside?
And what do I do with the screws that I didn't get?

I can add pictures if you like.

Don't try and mount a motherboard without ALL the needed screws.

 

If you look on the case manufacturer website you can obtain spares.

 

Also if there is missing parts file a complaint to the case supplier. They'll send you them for free.

 

 

Don't try and do a build without all the needed parts. You'll end up damaging the motherboard. As it won't be mounted properly.

In terms of the IO shield - send photos as the IO shield is a standardised dimension. Normally.

 

You DO need to have it 'click' in to place in the case, then you mount the motherboard into the IO - and gently on the standoffs in the case.

Never mind, just needed to use a bit more force. A part of the io shield was bent outwards lol

if you're missing standoffs or screws be sure to at least secure the 4 corners

 

you can use a similar size screw if you do have enough standoffs

Well theres those little stand things there, but would I also need screws for it?

the ones used for hard drives or ODDs should fit

Sounds about right.

 

The more builds you do the more you get used to that type of thing.

Well just checked my hard drive, there's no screw there.
So do I contact my case manufacturer DIYPC?

must be a new case, those don't need screws for the hdd

just go to a hardware store with the standoff and ask for a screw that fits it, get a bag of screws so you have some extra just in case you lose one or need it for a different thing
