I need to move downwards, in order to lever my card back into place.

Any ideas?

 

You're going to have to very carefully lift the front (bracket facing) side of the card up just enough to push it back inside the case.

While trying to get my GPU out, i

I aappeared to have moved it too much to right. It seems to be stuck. I don't wanna apply to much force.

Does anyone have advice on how I could get it out?

Did you unlock the little tab at the end? If so, it's ok to just pull it towards you if the tower is on its side, or straight up if you're laying the tower down.

What is keeping it from going back to the left

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I didn't unlock it; my card is so big. I think that's the issue.

I think it's the small tab at the end. I'll take a look.

If you're careful with your aim, you can use a screwdriver to push the lock down, then pull the card out.

You can't take the card out without unlocking it so that's your problem

Ok, update: I took my heatsink out, but the lock requires a lot of force to push down:

Yeah, that happens. If you want to remove your card without breaking the motherboard, you need to push or slide the unlock tab, that's just the way it is.

Someone else also told me about it, but now I've gotten more insight into the problem. Could you look at my last reply with the video and the picture?

That's because of the angle it was at. You're going to have to remove your cooler when you remove your GPU. I strongly, strongly, STRONGLY recommend not shoving a freaking screwdriver into your motherboard. Sorry @TheRandomness, I know you mean well and I know that's a harsh reaction on my part, but that's just a flat out terrible idea. If the screwdriver slips, that's at least a bunch of scratched through traces, at worst a hole in your board. Even something like a pencil eraser is incredibly risky. It's inconvenient, but removing the cooler is the only safe way to get a card that's buried by a cooler out.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

I already did that. But the problem still isn't solved. Could you look at my reply with the video and the picture?

Oh never mind, you already replied to my comment. But do have any idea how I get out of this situation?

So, pushing it to the left? (It's stuck on the right now)

Yes, try to get it back in the slot (do NOT apply excessive force). After it is in the slot, unlock the tab and the GPU should come out without any issue

Gently re-seat the card in the bracket so it's fully installed, then push down on the tab and slowly, gently wiggle it out.

Try to push those in, you can apply a little pressure (Just on the lower part of the metal plate) to push them and what @aisle9 said

THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH. I LOVE YOU. THIS WAS IT. I thought there were supposed to be outside, but need to be inside of the case.

Great job! Glad you could get it out. Let us know if you have any other questions.

GPU stuck posts quite common though. People don't realize there is a tab to release it from slot.
