I've always used a screwdriver when I needed to release my GPU latch but as always your millage will vary and at your own risk.

How old is the mobo? I haven't seen one in many years where the ram lower tabs are levered. Only the top is.

 

If you need to find a way to get there without removing ram, then a long enough plastic ruler would be my choice. Should be flat enough to squeeze in, and soft enough not to scratch anything.

I would try to get the first ram out. Is it possible without unclipping the lower lever? When i had one stick i could get to the lever wothout any issue

a flathead screwdriver, and just put gentle pressure on the lever as you pull the gpu out.

+1. It wont sound pretty but yeah most of the time it locked in way too hard on the locking slot.
