Intel P4 D850GBC, D850MV - need diff I/O shield?

[DaveSimmons]

The Intel P4 motherboards with audio/lan use a new back-panel I/O arrangement with the audio connectors stacked vertically, so the "universal" I/O shield shipped with most cases won't work.

Does the D850GBC need a different I/O shield even though it doesn't have the audio / lan? If so, does the boxed version come with it?

The D850MV socket 478 board always has audio according to the intel website -- does the boxed version ship with a replacement back panel / I/O shield?

Thanks!

Both the retail and oem versions ship with the correct backplates. If your vendor does not ship the backplate with the OEM version then something is wrong.

They come with the proper back panel.
