Cannot remove gpu

[cinelli14]

I put in my GPU to test if everything worked but now I cant get it out. I've tried pushing down on the locking clip to release it but it doesnt seem to work

does the locking clip look alright? i have known people who did not know about the locking clip and who just yanked it out. this should not damage the mobo and should jsut pull out the clip which you can put back in

[cinelli14]

i think so

I got it, had to use a LEGO brick separator for it but it worked. Thank you for taking time to try and help

That looks like a PCIe lock in "locked" position.

Yeah the PCIE lock clip can be a bit of a pain in the rear.

I got some really fancy mobos and sticking a fat GPU on them makes the clip really hard or nearly impossible to reach.

some new mainboards have a "remote" unlock button you can press to release that latch... all things to consider when buying mainboards
