1: Unscrew the I/O bracket

2: Push down the retention lever (you can take your finger off)

3: Grab the graphics card with both hands

4: Pull the graphics card straight away from the motherboard, steadily, but firmly.

Nope, I did apply the pressure to retension leveler it simply won't move, like it is stuck...

I quit....

 

The retention lever is fine, you've already unlocked it. It won't move because it is open, this is not rocket science.

 

You just need to pull the graphics card out of the PCIe slot. Stop getting hung up on the retention lever....

 

Just pull it.........!

So this issue is there since year 2020 and you still not able to take out the GPU.

 

I suggest you bring to computer shop and ask them take out, during take out you can request them show you and guide you how to take it out.
99.99% shop will willing to teach you on this.

 

Sometimes Physical learning is better than looking at the text tutorial.

Last try. way too much effort that this deserves...

You will see in this video that after I unlock the PCIe retention lever, the GPU is still stiffly bound enough that I can actually pull the entire PC on my table. Only when I put my finger on the CPU cooler to apply counter-force, does the GPU puil-out. You can see its a decent amount of force, given the way it yanks out, which is partly because of my one handed operation and lack of a PC case.

Ok, could you please be kind and explain me step by step....

 

Please do not take offence for my apparent confusion or rudeness,it's not intent me to be like that,it's just my BPD,be nice to me,and I'll return twice better,be rude and usually I get easly pissed of...I'll try to help anyone here,as long as it's something I dealt with,and even if you think I'm rude or not polite,forgive me,  it's not me it's my BPD.

Thanks for understanding.

A guy from our PC forum told me to:

"release screws on my motherboard for half of circle because offset from MoBo is pushing the card towards side of the case,and even because of that GPU won't release from slot."

This is interesting assumption, will try tomorrow.

Step 2, how hard may I push the retension leveler and avoid breaking it?

May I use wooden/plastic stick?

Sure, you've already pushed it down in your previous video. Once its down, its down, there is no need to force it beyond its resting place.

Comment from a guy on fb group:

"I just watched your youtube video about your gpu issue and it looks to me that the gpu isn’t seated properly and seems to be clipped in on the right side but not on the left. This could be why the retention lever will not release, but I also see in the comments that the gpu is hitting the mobo on the left side."
This is the whole damn 
time I am talking about...

I give up, you're on your own now. 🤦‍♂️

 

Maybe we'll see in 2 more years time.

This is a giant Facepalm. Just pull. That is all you need to do. I am almost thinking that you are trolling us here.

A PC technician came and he took 3 min of time..

He firstly used my plastic spudger and pressed on retension leveler, no luck ( as I did).

Ofc previously removing all 3 IO shields and screws.

Then he took screwdriver which scared me and while pressing the leveler same time pushing the card towards him.

First right part of the card came out and then he  slooooowlyy was moving card towards him.

When he heard a click then he removed the card from the board.

When I asked him what was an issue he said to me some retension levelers press are made pretty hard so makes an issue of removing card.

He told now be careful installing card back and lay the case horizontal.

Thank you all for help specially to @For Science!for his patience and time with me.

He wanted to install nvme but I told him that piece of cake to leave for me.

P.S. I hope I clearly explained in details on how to remove graphics card where such task can not be so easily achieved and those newer boards make things a bit complicated.
