Hello, I'm trying to get an AM3+ board out of an old rosewill case so I can store it and toss the clunky and broken case that I no longer need. It seems to be stuck on something but I don't know what and it's a bit frustrating. I believe I've removed all the screws so I'm a bit confused. Any help is appreciated.

Maybe the I/O?

The IO on the back might be holding it in. Try sliding it sideways then pulling it up

Was thinking that but I can't push the io in, even with the blunt end of a screwdriver for extra leverage.

Did you press the power button?, jk the I/O is probably hooked on it or you are missing a screw, or a fan connector is blocking it from moving.

The geek himself.

well, look at where the connector dangling off the rear fan connector is laying on the mobo.

 

just near the ram slots and the (north bridge?) heatsink.

That fan connector isn't attached to anything. It's the case fan and i can freely move it.
