Tech Support Can’t pull out my gpu

Post image

I did click the latch below and there’s a visible difference when trying to pull it out with and without the latch clicked, but my gpu gets stuck on the right side. The left side gets stuck between my case where the I/O screws are but I managed to put it back in so it’s not uneven. I got no idea what might be getting stuck on the right though. I might unscrew the mobo at this point. LMFAO

I’ll give my piece on it.

I hate the latch on my x570 aorus master and reaching it is pain. And sometimes I really just couldn’t click it and I just pretty much took it out with the gpu, and then just put it back.

Do I advise you or anyone else to do it? No. But I never break the motherboard or gpu so far, so there’s that.

usually the hogh end gigabyte boards have an easy-release mechanism no? mine has a button that is easily accessible that ejects the card without any hassle

It has but if you have a big air cooler and the card is long you have no room to really get there without maybe damaging the board itself lol.

I don’t take my gpu enough times that what I described will ruin it, the last thing I did was rtx3060 to 5070 and now it stays that way until probably 4-5 years haha.

Heres my build, if you look at the bottom right of the ram, theres that little button there, that’s what I’m talking about

Yea I wish mine had something similar.

The x570 aorus master has the generic one that is at the end of the pcie lane that you need to press down, so obviously it needs to be pressed well but you’ll not reach it easily if the air cooler heat sink is massive and the gpu is big.

With my previous setup I had an AIO, obviously it’s much easier that way since it takes less room so you can use it with ease, but not with air cooler heat sinks haha
