screwed up, you have.

screwed, you are.

 

the standoff is trying to unscrew from the case. try to get under the MB and grab the standoff with tiny needle nosed pliers. unscrew screw. reinstall the standoff once MB is out. 

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Unscrew all the screws holding in the board, but leave the stuck screw.  Then remove it slowly.  Then hold the standoff with pliers and unscrew it.

Linux "nerd".  If I helped you please like my post and maybe add me as a friend :)  ^_^!
