UNclipping a POV 9800 GT graphics card

Post by Rajiv »

I'm having trouble unclipping my 9800GT from my Asus M3A motherboard. Can anyone illustrate this for me?

Judging from your laptop charger post, I would deduce you are not very familiar with a pc.

On the board right at the back of the PCI-E slot, there is normally a small clip that holds the back of the GFX card in place. It has a small "lever" that you push back to get the back of the card out.

And make sure that you have unscrewed it from the back of the pc as well.

Hope that helps.

Edit: And an illustration is not needed. 'n Quick google will show you everything you need to. Or just LOOK at your pc and you could probably figure it out. :|

No unclip then lift up. It's designed to lock the card in place. Just unplug your PC from the wall and touch the chassis with your hands first OK?
