Hey folks my build is underway. However im experiencing some difficulty with motherboard installation due to foam being on the back of my I/O shield. It seems to be preventing the mobo from being aligned with the standoffs. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: forgot to add that  im building in an h500 case.

Foam I/O shields can be squished to make room for the motherboard, but also make sure the I/O shield is inserted entirely

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

those pics are blurry so it's not particularly easy to tell how far in the I/O shield is but maybe it could use some coaxing, but it looks pretty thicc so you should be able to squoosh in the motherboard.
