pci e plastic came off

[Technomancer__]

i pressed down the latch and i heard a click but unfortunately the pci e slot plastic came out.

at-least only one of the data pins was slithly bended and i managed to fix it

but i want to know how the actual f**** am i going to put it back in without bending the pins?

 

 

 

 

what are the chances to not damage the pins?

see no pins on the plastic thing except the plastic that mounts to the motherboard and holds the plastic

disable that slot, make sure no pins are touching and use the slot below it. just incredible

Worse comes to worse just pick up the cheapest motherboard with 2 PCIE slots you can find and live with no OC until you have the money for a good one again
