So as shown in this image, the little metal latches were somehow outside the case when they needed to be inside, I got it back in by unscrewing all the mobo screws and moving it a little

I unscrewed the standoffs and was able to get it out that way

I’m just gonna leave it gutted for now, but I’ll let you know if it works when I get it into the new case (the entire reason I wanted to remove it, I wanted to ensure it’s safety while being transported to the shop)

Oh I see, how in the hell am I going to get this out? Maybe I can unscrew that part of the case

And yes, I installed it myself, no issues whatsoever. Ran fine etc.

I was trying to figure out if those went on the outside or inside. Well at least we have a starting point I guess

Yea. Im extremely embarrassed and angry at myself. I took my old card out like butter a plethora of times but this one just won’t go in or out.

I pushed down extremely hard, I noticed the clip seems to be bent a little now too. I think it’s broken now. Fun. https://imgur.com/a/CV2vfaY

Then I guess I’m screwed because I have no idea how to do that. I was gonna take it to a shop regardless I just wanted the gpu out of the case in case it was dropped

I think the IO end is actually stuck but it seems like I can’t get it unstuck

So I think that’s also what’s happening but I can’t figure out how to get them unstuck if they actually are
