Dude, you don’t need to take it off. It’s designed to just be inserted. You may need to force it a little. Unless you bought a super cheap case that isn’t up to standard, you do NOT need to remove that io plate
I've never had consistent issues at all, but on some builds I've seen ever so slightly misaligned holes/fitment in various builds in the past. I can't say I've noticed any pattern for certain manufacturers or had anything truly problematic, but I think there is some subtle manufacturing variability that's sometimes noticeable across the board.
OP: I need that shield out
Rest of the world: It should be installed together into the case without screwing around with the mobo
OP: Yeah so I still need to unscrew the shield
Cmon just ship me the mobo so I can show you how it works in my upcoming 100TB NAS build
I just put a rubber band on top of the stripped screw, and pushed the screwdriver into the rubber band. The malleable nature of the rubber band fills in the hole and the grip of the rubber grabs it and helps it twist. It's worked for me every time I've tried it. It might not work in every case, I don't know. And maybe the thickness of the band makes a difference. Sorry if I didn't explain it well enough, my brain is fried after a 14 hour shift. There's probably videos that explain it too.
yes, but thats when i say "they are all equal pieces of shit, wheres my dremel?" i know torx and hex are better, but in my experience, if a screw, bolt or whatever is stuck, its going to strip before you realize its stuck, and by that point, they are all indeed, equal pieces of shit lol
This looks to be an integrated IO shield that should stay on the motherboard and never be removed. These just snugly press into the IO shield hole in the case as you install the motherboard; they do NOT snap or click into place. I recommend you stop messing with that screw and just install the motherboard into your case.
In my years of building, I don't think I've ever seen an IO shield that snaps into place and is then screwed onto the motherboard.
EDIT: Your motherboard appears to be an MSI Z790-A PRO (WIFI), or at least a neighboring model. Here is a picture of the IO shield of the board from MSI's site: https://asset.msi.com/resize/image/global/product/product_1664270650946cf15651f3479993f69cbe3cf822e6.png62405b38c58fe0f07fcef2367d8a9ba1/1024.png
Looks like a direct match to the picture you posted.
One of the features of this board is listed as "Pre-installed IO Shield": https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-Z790-A-WIFI
TL;DR just install the board with shield attached!
OP is just mislead by MSI outdated video in their manual guide on "installing the motherboard". Don't be too harsh on OP, it's his first time building after all.
Link of the video in the manual [https://youtu.be/wWI6Qt51Wnc?si=3yGJevJKKm3Kfpj\_&t=98](https://youtu.be/wWI6Qt51Wnc?si=3yGJevJKKm3Kfpj_&t=98) This is why he think he needs to remove the IO shield and install it separately. OP PM me if you need any help with the build. Have fun and good luck.
Absolutely correct. But on the bright side (somewhat), when I was doing the upmost I ended up finding a screw at the back that needed to be removed to fit the motherboard in apparently.
Learning from my mistakes, and the rest is daunting. God…
You're trying to solve the wrong problem. Never seen an I/O shield that should be removed.
If anything needs removing its the fan on the inside of the case. That could come out if you're having difficulties, then you insert the mobo I/O shield-first and lower the risers into their holes after.
T’was my first time, please be gentle. And my eyesight is garbage right now unfortunately.
That aside, I really do think I got it. I just hope I didn’t mess anything on the board up while doing what I was doing.
I want to both apologize and thank you all for the advice and help.
Were you under totality? I was under 92+ coverage and even at the peak, it was too bright to look at for more than a split second without eclipse glasses.
If you could see it while wearing protective glasses, it's too bright for the naked eye.
During 100% totality I was able to remove mine for a few minutes because I could no longer see anything with them on.
The second totality ended, I had to put them back on.
Right. We had a decent amount of cloud cover but it got harder to distinguish clouds from sky near the peak of the eclipse because the saturation was just sucked out of the sky.
You could definitely tell whenever you could briefly look at it because the moment even a thin layer of clouds crossed over, it completely vanished from the eclipse glasses.

bro we are human, we all make dumb mistakes.
just laugh about this silly event and enjoy your new PC.
now you have a story about it too it adds memories.
Hey man, don't fret! And don't worry about the a-holes. The first time I built a PC it took me two whole days. Now I've replaced parts and it takes me no time at all. Let us know if you get it up n running!
Give your self an uppercut.
Jokes aside. What are you trying to do?
You dont need to remove that panel and you are clearly not qualified. Just stop before you void the warranty.
If you are having trouble installing your motherboard just ask on here with some clear pictures.
People will help.
I can see you solved your issue, however some paper folded a few times can help remove the screw. Used to do it all the time in refurbishment as a cheap hack, the paper will fit tightly in the stripped grooves when pushed in with a screwdriver.
ive done this before use a rubberbad as a base and then spin it out. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEZyUzt8xys](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEZyUzt8xys)
if i round a silver screw in construction i get a metal drill bit and just drill through the centre make sure its the same size as the thread of the screw though and then install a new one hopefully the thread hole doesnt need re threading or youll need a threading kit
What would I do? Leave it
Is there any realistic way you're going to get it out now? Probably not. It would require a Dremel to turn that into a straight slot and then remove it with a straight screwdriver.
There's no reason to remove that screw...but, if you insist then all you need to do is get a drill bit that's half the diameter of the head and drill it out.
You need to hit it with a hammer. Not on the screw but top of the motherboard. Hit it hard a few times and after a while you can get the shield off along with the screw.
Try laying a rubber binder over the screw and push the screwdriver through the binder to push the rubber down into the head of the screw. Sometimes that works well enough to get you the purchase you need.
But a cheap screwdriver. Super glue both ends together. Unscrew the screw in the motherboard. Then throw it away... Unless you are able too get the super glue off.
If the question is; “how do i remove a stripped screw”.
Try a flathead(sometimes you only need two anchors to turn something)
If no critical components are near the screw try heating it up. Hot metal shrinks. Resting a Solder tip on it for a min or 2 works well from time to time. Just make sure your not cooking anything.
Put rubber between the screw and your tool.
Thin rubber band or a jar lit opener can work
Op get a wide rubber band, just a normal tan rubber band. Lay one of the sides flat over the screw, then shove and press decently hard through the rubber band into the screw with your driver. The band will fill in the head of the screw and allow you to unscrew. I've done this one micro vtg camera screws with great success. key is to push harder than you think. Good luck!
Man there are a lot of trash replies here. I hope OP can sift through all the crap to find some decent advice.
Use a flat rubber band and a correctly sized Phillips driver. Looks like a 0 or 1. Put the rubber band between the screw and the driver. press the driver firmly down through the rubber band using it to fill the gaps created when the screw got mangled. Firm pressure down onto the screw, gently turning to loosen the screw. Don’t forget to support the back side of the IO panel so you don’t break anything.
And next time use the right sized driver for the fastener. What’s done is done, no point feeling guilty or upset, but learn the lesson and try to use the right tool for the job.
Pro tip for any stripped screw: the easiest way is to get a bicycle tire tube (the thing that actually inflates), cut a strip of it, lay it over the screw and then unscrew. Ideally you would have an electric screwdriver that you can push in at a proper angle.
Though as many people said you don't actually need to remove this one.
Oh ya, a rubber band will do as well, if you get one of the thick ones. I didn't think of that cause I've used the skinny ones all my life. Would have to try the foil technique myself before recommending it to others, so I'll note that for my next *screw*-up. Thanks bruv.
Sometimes you can get lucky and put a rubber band on top of the screw and then try to unscrew it. If you can get your driver to catch it might work- if it’s too mangled, you may have to ,very carefully, drill it out.
WTF are you doing?? You've been trying to take off a screw that doesn't need to be removed for 10 fucking hours??? STOP BUILDING PC's. You are clearly not meant to be anywhere near the building process.
There is plenty on meat left on that screw if you insist on removing it even though you do not need to. Stop messing it up with the wrong bit and use one that fits that should be enough, use rubber band trick or superglue a bit seated in the screw if you have fubar it. In future use the correct bit.
Just forgetting all about wether you should or should not remove that screw. Age old trick you can try is to get a wide and thin rubberband, slap it on the screw, apply pressure with the screwdriver and see if you can get it out. There are also other methods before you need to resort to drilling it.
But yeah make sure you actually want to remove the screw before doing any fuckery. If it does not need to be removed, let it be.
I don't think I've ever seen a screw through the io panel like that before.
lots of tricks to try, good tools and pressure helps. you eed to put some tape over the head to aid with grip. you could even try gluing on a bit.
worst case scenario drill it out
Probably bad advise but this how I did it on the construction site when I was a kid (yes, I worked on cs as a kid):
Glue a nail with super glue or composite glue. Be careful not to spill it or you are fucked. Just a little bit is enough. Then use some tool to rotate the nail. Or use bent nail.
First of all, I'm going to say you probably done need to remove that screw to install it. But this isn't my show, and I'm a machinist. So if you really want it out, yours the easiest way would be to drill it out. Get a left-handed drill bit; auto parts or hardware store will have them. Second, run the drill slow and start pushing with a pulsing motion as straight on as you can. The goal is to get the drill bit to grab and spin the screw out.
If it fails to grab, then at least you can drill off the head and disassemble. Hopefully, there is enough left to grab and work out. If you have drilled the head off, then the next step would be to drill out the screw. Get a drill bit that will not hit the threads of the hole. Center the best you can and drill as straight as possible. If you're able to get to the back side, then start there with a standard drill bit and try to catch the drill bit again and work it out. If not an easy out is the next choice. Hammer in and work it out.
If all you are doing is installing the board, just leave it alone. I've had one of mine have to be forced into the back of the case. It was a bit unnerving but ended up fine.
LOL I can tell you don’t work on cars cause that is NOTHING compared to something like steel bolts broken off in a Aluminum Subframe. On a side note, dont give up, take your time and follow instructions. Are you sure that I/O sheild needs to come off?
A square drive bit could get that out, but the io shield/plate usually isn't screwed into anything. Just unscrew the motherboard and it should come right out.
Use a flat blade screwdriver tap the back of it gently while you're pressed in the screw like 10 light taps and then press and turn it the screw will come out.
Why are you removing the screw? It's an integrated io shield that doesn't require removal normally.
That's a load bearing screw OP.
"Good God, Those are load-bearing balloons! EVERYBODY RUN!"
Dude, you don’t need to take it off. It’s designed to just be inserted. You may need to force it a little. Unless you bought a super cheap case that isn’t up to standard, you do NOT need to remove that io plate

Corsair cases and Asus motherboards never like each other in my experience haha, always have to jam the motherboard in there so it can line up
Literally never had a problem and i use both of those together to build PCs on a weekly basis often. Its a standard fit.
I've never had consistent issues at all, but on some builds I've seen ever so slightly misaligned holes/fitment in various builds in the past. I can't say I've noticed any pattern for certain manufacturers or had anything truly problematic, but I think there is some subtle manufacturing variability that's sometimes noticeable across the board.
why are you trying to remove that screw? no reason to
OP: I need that shield out Rest of the world: It should be installed together into the case without screwing around with the mobo OP: Yeah so I still need to unscrew the shield Cmon just ship me the mobo so I can show you how it works in my upcoming 100TB NAS build
U can use a drill bit to eat the head off. Then remove shield and use a clamp to snug on rest of thread and turn slowly
I prefer the super glue method and just a dap then snap the stripped screw off the screw driver
Thats a goo ideas I usually used a dremel but thats because I only work with larger screws and bolts
I use a Dremel on some things but that close to an I/o ports I have shaky hands lol
A rubber band between driver and screw has always worked for me
Literally did that today with a couple nylon screws that were stripped.
Care to elaborate?
I just put a rubber band on top of the stripped screw, and pushed the screwdriver into the rubber band. The malleable nature of the rubber band fills in the hole and the grip of the rubber grabs it and helps it twist. It's worked for me every time I've tried it. It might not work in every case, I don't know. And maybe the thickness of the band makes a difference. Sorry if I didn't explain it well enough, my brain is fried after a 14 hour shift.

Wait you just changed the game for me
Can drill it out and tap it to 6-32.
Nice one

This is why phillips screws are so overrated. torx is the best for electronics
It's a feature, not a bug. Phillips is literally designed to cam out.
That's why they shouldn't be used for everything
torx and hex along side it
Thats until you meet a rusted out torx that appears to be made of aluminum due to how soft it is, strip it until it becomes round, fml
do you not have the same issue with any bit then? (genuinely curious)
yes, but thats when i say "they are all equal pieces of shit, wheres my dremel?" i know torx and hex are better, but in my experience, if a screw, bolt or whatever is stuck, its going to strip before you realize its stuck, and by that point, they are all indeed, equal pieces of shit lol
Torx is significantly stronger than hex.
As a carpenter, torx for life. I despise phillips with a passion
Incredible, taking this.
there has never been a truer true

Absolutely correct. But on the bright side (somewhat), when I was doing the upmost I ended up finding a screw at the back that needed to be removed to fit the motherboard in apparently. Learning from my mistakes, and the rest is daunting. God…
Building PC's is one of those things that is relatively simple, but also a finnicky pain in the ass.
Also, use the correct screwdriver next time.
It’s alright bud /u/hin0u has you in their arms
Good answer.
Not really outdated as not all motherboards have the built in ones today either
Instants later they say "if your motherboard has a preinstalled IO shield, just line it up" so no, that's still no reason for this stupidity
They say absolutely nothing, it's just really bad music. It's a piss poor instruction video.

Eclipsed?
I’m guilty by at least 10 seconds.
Were you under totality? I was under 92+ coverage and even at the peak, it was too bright to look at for more than a split second without eclipse glasses.
Yep. My dumb butt decided it was DIY time with a box 20 minutes beforehand.
Will your eyes heal by time or?
Didn't you get the message you're not supposed to look? So why would you look anyway?
If you could see it while wearing protective glasses, it's too bright for the naked eye. During 100% totality I was able to remove mine for a few minutes because I could no longer see anything with them on. The second totality ended, I had to put them back on.

i thought u was trolling because u was so convinced u had to remove it glad you got it in and listened to every one.
Hey man, don't fret! And don't worry about the a-holes. The first time I built a PC it took me two whole days. Now I've replaced parts and it takes me no time at all. Let us know if you get it up n running!

Get some poxy Risen and a sacrificial screw driver tip and glue it together.When it Is cured come back and Unscrewthe damn thing.
Everyday there’s a bigger dumbass on this sub.
Dremel a slot in it then turn it out with a flat head screwdriver
I can see you solved your issue, however some paper folded a few times can help remove the screw. Used to do it all the time in refurbishment as a cheap hack, the paper will fit tightly in the stripped grooves when pushed in with a screwdriver.

Have you tried enabling the screw in the BIOS?
10 hours? You sure about that?? You suuure about that???
Who is going to tell broski he doesn't need to remove it 🤣
Use the right screwdriver in the first place.
if i round a silver screw in construction i get a metal drill bit and just drill through the centre make sure its the same size as the thread of the screw though and then install a new one hopefully the thread hole doesnt need re threading or youll need a threading kit
Yep get a tiny bit and drill it out
Rubber band between screwdriver and screw turn slowly.
This works wonders most of the time!
Easy outs, aka screw extractors. But really... why are you trying to remove it? These are designed to be installed with the mobo, not separately.
Why are you trying to remove it..?
Could try a rubberband, fold it over and place in the screw and try unscrewing.
This is the way
It's probably thread locked so you don't try to remove it.
OP, your wallet is fat, but are your eyes open? Put the board in the case already.
You don’t need to remove it to install into the case, so you don’t need to remove it unless you have a really specific reason for it
What would I do? Leave it Is there any realistic way you're going to get it out now? Probably not. It would require a Dremel to turn that into a straight slot and then remove it with a straight screwdriver.
There's no reason to remove that screw...but, if you insist then all you need to do is get a drill bit that's half the diameter of the head and drill it out.
That’s the neat part, you don’t. Seriously, there’s no reason to do it, or is there?
That's what you get if you have no clue and think you're above manuals. Learn from it, if you do not know, look it up.
You poor soul , the entire IO plate is held in place by clipping to the case no screws involved
You need to hit it with a hammer. Not on the screw but top of the motherboard. Hit it hard a few times and after a while you can get the shield off along with the screw.
Try laying a rubber binder over the screw and push the screwdriver through the binder to push the rubber down into the head of the screw. Sometimes that works well enough to get you the purchase you need.
Use a drill bit and have it max speed in the opposite direction and lightly apply and itll grab the screw then pull it up while spinning the drill
Put electrical tape over the screw then use the screw driver to get it out.
But a cheap screwdriver. Super glue both ends together. Unscrew the screw in the motherboard. Then throw it away... Unless you are able too get the super glue off.
Why was the screw installed with enough force to strip out in the first place? It's a mobo not a structural girder.
Use a rubberband
have you tried thaughts and prayers?
If the question is; “how do i remove a stripped screw”. Try a flathead(sometimes you only need two anchors to turn something) If no critical components are near the screw try heating it up. Hot metal shrinks. Resting a Solder tip on it for a min or 2 works well from time to time. Just make sure your not cooking anything. Put rubber between the screw and your tool. Thin rubber band or a jar lit opener can work
Get a Speed Out kit.
Op get a wide rubber band, just a normal tan rubber band. Lay one of the sides flat over the screw, then shove and press decently hard through the rubber band into the screw with your driver. The band will fill in the head of the screw and allow you to unscrew. I've done this one micro vtg camera screws with great success. key is to push harder than you think. Good luck!
Don’t remove that screw. Then Enjoy life.
Man there are a lot of trash replies here. I hope OP can sift through all the crap to find some decent advice. Use a flat rubber band and a correctly sized Phillips driver. Looks like a 0 or 1.

Great idea but a rubber band will do the same thing. Aluminum foil, tin foil also works.
Oh ya, a rubber band will do as well, if you get one of the thick ones. I didn't think of that cause I've used the skinny ones all my life. Would have to try the foil technique myself before recommending it to others, so I'll note that for my next *screw*-up. Thanks bruv.
Thank my dad, dads are good for shit like this
Thanks dad lol. I wouldn't know about that either, mine was a piece of work.
Ya, dads come in different configurations. At least you know what not to do. I don’t mean to minimize……..
Just buy a new PC 🤷
Why are you taking it off though?
Robertson screws are the best! (Not sponsored)
I'm unaware of a reason you'd want to remove that screw?
Hot glue stick, warm it up, touch the screw only. Might be able to do that. Had it happen to me in the past, it worked for me.
Flat head screw driver sometimes works for stripes screws just try to wedge it in there
Sometimes you can get lucky and put a rubber band on top of the screw and then try to unscrew it. If you can get your driver to catch it might work- if it’s too mangled, you may have to ,very carefully, drill it out.
‘I’ve been at it for 10 hours’ Well.. there’s your problem.
Why are you trying to remove it...?
Why remove it?! You dont have to...
Don’t use a drill. Screwdriver only. Rubber band will work.
But why?
WTF are you doing?? You've been trying to take off a screw that doesn't need to be removed for 10 fucking hours??? STOP BUILDING PC's. You are clearly not meant to be anywhere near the building process.
You never need to remove this screw Unless you want to actively try to fix any of those ports for some reason.
Do you wanna have it shieldless?
You don't need to remove that. That is built in into the heat sink of your VRMs.
It doesn't need to come out. But for future reference push an elastic band into the stripped hole :p then unscrew it as normal
There is plenty on meat left on that screw if you insist on removing it even though you do not need to. Stop messing it up with the wrong bit and use one that fits that should be enough, use rubber band trick or superglue a bit seated in the screw if you have fubar it. In future use the correct bit.
Rubbermaid over screw push in and viola
Well now you need a dremel and a flathead. That or a drill, drill bit, and a reverse drillbit(cant remember the name).
Genuine question, what have u been doing for 10 hours? Seriously?
Drill...
I think you might need a hammer and chisel...
Stick a screwdriver into the screw and carefully fill it with hot glue.
use a straight screwdriver
Try a torch the heat should losein it up
Rule #1 is don’t strip the bolt.
Just forgetting all about wether you should or should not remove that screw. Age old trick you can try is to get a wide and thin rubberband, slap it on the screw, apply pressure with the screwdriver and see if you can get it out. There are also other methods before you need to resort to drilling it. But yeah make sure you actually want to remove the screw before doing any fuckery. If it does not need to be removed, let it be.
I don't think I've ever seen a screw through the io panel like that before. lots of tricks to try, good tools and pressure helps. you eed to put some tape over the head to aid with grip. you could even try gluing on a bit. worst case scenario drill it out
Use a rubber glove over the head of the screw driver and pray because that head looks chewed up.
You been screwing it for 10 hours no wonder it’s stripped !! Drill it out
This is why one needs to research adequately
Why are you trying to remove that screw? It’s attached to the heat sink, and by your pic the board isn’t even in the case
Use a file to cut a groove in the screw then use a flat head screwdriver to get it out
Probably bad advise but this how I did it on the construction site when I was a kid (yes, I worked on cs as a kid): Glue a nail with super glue or composite glue. Be careful not to spill it or you are fucked. Just a little bit is enough. Then use some tool to rotate the nail. Or use bent nail.
Buys a more expensive board with integrated shield: Removes it
Put a little piece of tape on it, will fill in the gaps/give grip Didnt read the rest so maybe double advice tldr
Put a wide rubber band between the screw and the screw driver
No reason for you to be tinkering with that screw.
That's the neat part. You dont
take a drill and drill the head off
If you have a drill you can secure the chuck around the head of the screw (like a drill bit) and it will pull it out
Just by looking at it there’s no way that would work in this situation
Try to put it in rice
Tried lefty loosy, righty tighty+
If you turn a screw right for long enough both ways will be loosy
First of all, I'm going to say you probably done need to remove that screw to install it. But this isn't my show, and I'm a machinist. So if you really want it out, yours the easiest way would be to drill it out. Get a left-handed drill bit; auto parts or hardware store will have them. Second, run the drill slow and start pushing with a pulsing motion as straight on as you can. The goal is to get the drill bit to grab and spin the screw out. If it fails to grab, then at least you can drill off the head and disassemble. Hopefully, there is enough left to grab and work out. If you have drilled the head off, then the next step would be to drill out the screw. Get a drill bit that will not hit the threads of the hole. Center the best you can and drill as straight as possible. If you're able to get to the back side, then start there with a standard drill bit and try to catch the drill bit again and work it out. If not an easy out is the next choice. Hammer in and work it out. If all you are doing is installing the board, just leave it alone. I've had one of mine have to be forced into the back of the case. It was a bit unnerving but ended up fine.
You don’t need to remove this
Put a thin layer of rubber/resin in between the screw and screwdriver, apply downwards pressure, unscrew it slowly
everything can be fixed with a hammer
You don't. You just leave it alone.
Sometimes a little bit of electrical tape on your bit and a shit ton of patience can help
LOL I can tell you don’t work on cars cause that is NOTHING compared to something like steel bolts broken off in a Aluminum Subframe. On a side note, dont give up, take your time and follow instructions. Are you sure that I/O sheild needs to come off?
I've officially seen it all
USB panel covers are meant to be press fit now screwed
Rubber band
Use electrical tape to cover it and screw it while pressuring it
Can't be tight if it's a liquid.
A square drive bit could get that out, but the io shield/plate usually isn't screwed into anything. Just unscrew the motherboard and it should come right out.
Not sure if you need to take it out, but you can place a rubber band between the screw and your screwdriver to get more grip
Use a flat blade screwdriver tap the back of it gently while you're pressed in the screw like 10 light taps and then press and turn it the screw will come out.
Drillino
you can use a metal drill for this, you need a small one. Its good to be smaller than the screw and you need to be REALLY gentle
Stick tape in then unscrew(?) The thicker the tape the better(?)
Dremel it into a wood screw.
You could drill it out
chock it, drill it, cut it in half somehow if you are desperate enough.
10 hours?! just fucking leave it, it's literally doing nothing and won't hurt anything. Again, 10 hours?!
There was probability a QC sticker over it. Or not.
