PCI-E question

[Suprnova04]

How does the clasp thing on the PCI-E x16 bus work? It's confusing/pissing me off and I don't want to break it. I can't get my damn card out, lol.

Dumb, non-technical question, i know.. but a question nonetheless.

thanks guys.

On the PCIe slot there is a tab u pull when pulling out the card.. It lets go of the card..


*edit that handle at the end of the slot

Damn thing is kinda cramped up next to something.. I think it was the northbridge fan..

thanks man

Down..

press it down, you may want to get a good flashlight to see what you are doing. That helps me when I can't see what I'm doing.
