OK, I am obviously overlooking something. I am building a new desktop using an ASRock Radeon RX 6800 XT Phantom Gaming D graphics card. When I tried to remove it, the catch doesn't release. I looked in the MoBo UM and don't see anything. The forum doesn't return anything or I am not using the correct search term. Assuming the release is in the same location as PCIE4 I have worked credit cards and similar-sized items over the latch and I can't seem to release it. Can someone help me, please? Thank you. ------------- Larry |

The tab at the bottom end of the slot needs to be pushed down (towards the board). It works much the same way as the RAM retention clips. -------------

I had not noticed the latch when I first installed the card. After looking for access through the VGA card or access underneath I tried forcing the card up and the latch separated from its mounting point and stayed on the ASRock Radeon RX 6800 XT Phantom Gaming D graphics card. I reattached the latch to its mounting point, HOPEFULLY, something was out of position and if I have to remove it again it will release easily. Forcing electronic cards is an easy way to break something and the last resort. I did not see any reference in the UM on how to release the VGA card. It looks like a potential week link with the weight of the card. I hope I am wrong. ------------- Larry |
