Got My GTX 1070 (Slight Problem)

When swapping cards, the MB retention clip broke.  The GTX 770 for some reason got snagged on it so my brother tried to push it back further to lift the GPU out, and it snapped.  My brother has helped me remove the GPU in the past for cleaning with no such issue.  The card works fine and no damage to the MB (aside from the retention clip).  Anyone else done this before, or are we stupid lol?

just make sure the GPU is well fastened, because nothing is holding it in.

 

Just in case i'ma say this anyway:

 

Don't shake the computer while its on.

 

 

I don't think shaking a computer is typically a good idea anyway. Haha. 

 

Is that how I get more RAMZ and jigawatz? ;)
