I am contemplating buying a refurbished motherboard from ebay in order to replace an older motherboard on one of my computers.The seller mentioned that the motherboard is working just fine but he'll not be able to provide any accessories with the board including an I/O shield.Till date i have never used a motherboard without an I/O shield and so i'm wondering whether it would be a good idea to do so or not.
Should i go ahead and buy the motherboard without its backplate?Are there any potential issues that i might face if i don't use a backplate on my computer?Can i obtain a replacement i/o shield from the manufacturer of the motherboard(which is intel in this case) if i write to them asking for one?Please advice.
