well crap....

[lukky211111]

so was removing my graphics card from my motherboards pcie slot and well....the clip that you push down busted on me i may have forced it too much or something soooo what do i do now? yes i am an idiot.

[Chasem121]

Your gpu and motherboard should still work, the gpu just won't be as secure in the PCIe slot anymore

[lukky211111]

Do you mean those lil plastic things/latches on the back of the PCIe slot?  If so that's fine it just gives it a second layer of snug fitting.  The card won't drop out of the slot if it isn't on there.

yes those im gonna be getting a gpu brace for my gpu anyways so that should help but it wont cause me any issues?

anyway i can make sure its extra snug in there without it? like its still on there just the poarts taht hold it on snapped.

[lukky211111]

No, no issues.  It will be fine I break them by accident all the time on my boards.  

oh jesus thanks urameshi!

[lukky211111]

This is what I get for having Viking ancestors, and some were berserkers.  <.<

im just well....a psycho so yeah i break things.

[lukky211111]

It happens to the best of us.

so i wont have any issues when i get my gpu back from warranty and reinstall it? granted i could put it into another slot...

[miagisan]

i've broken mine off a few times over various motherboards, it wont do anything.

You'll be ok, those things sometimes don't work as they should lol.

In older boards you really needed to push those things away, now, you just pull the card and the clip will move on its own.

Well when I reinstall my replacement I hope I won't have any issues though I'm concerned my motherboard isn't seated right cuz of how off the screws are on the gpu bracket

Just push the video card and it shouldn't come out, even if it doesn't have that clip.

Just make sure everything is aligned properly, or the PCIe gold fingers may be inserted correctly on one side of the PCIe slot.

My 790FX-GD70 top slot has the clip missing, no big deal.

Well the reason I'll be rmaing my cars is cuz I've been having a buzzing noise coming through my speakers as well as having both my monitors tell me no video signal during a game like the screens freak out then say no display signal and I have to restart my computer to get the signal back

This is still a massive headache cuz of the issues I've experiences and I'm wondering if it's due to my card not being seated right....

That's weird, are your PCIe slots clean, mostly the contacts?

[lukky211111]

Yes they are any other possible ideas iim all ears

It could be that the pins are not making good contact, but if your PCIe slot is clean and the videocard sits correctly, there shouldn't be any problems.

I'm pretty sure its seated correctly could these be signs of a bad gpu?

It could be, but you will be doing an RMA right?

[lukky211111]
