Io shield doesnt fit my new define r5?

tomandscooby · Jul 21, 2016

I just got my new define r5 today but having trouble putting the mb io shield panel into the case.
Now, i somehow managed to push the 3 corner in place but the last one is not secure.
So i just wanna know if its the case that has problem or its because my io shield panel is too old (inspiron 580)?

Fyi, i think there suppose to be a "click" sound when i push my io shield into the case but i heard none and somehow the 3 corner is secured.

You have to push in the fourth corner with more force. Those things are meant to be secure so you need to push harder.

ThatVietGuy :

thank you for the quick reply, but i did. none of the corner has the "click" sound....

I'm afraid brute force is probably the only answer. Do take the shield out completely and inspect it for any bits of bent metal that might be getting in the way first though!

plywrlw :

it worked in my old case (Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case). I took the io shield out from my old case and put it into the define r5. didnt work, then i tried putting it back into my old case. and it worked... but I just want to use the define r5 so badly. i just kind of make it secure (without any "click" sound, just kind of make it stuck into the place) in my r5 case

so im wondering if its the r5 case's problem or its because of the io shield? If it is about the io shield then i dont care about it because im getting a new mobo and cpu. but if its the case, then i need to change it within a month.

I don't think the click noise is essential!

It just needs to sit flush at the back

EDIT; If it's a really tight fit, put the IO shield in the freezer for 1 hour. If you try and install it when the shield is cold and the case warm it might just give it a bit more room
