What tool

What tool

Anything that can fit in there and wont hurt the GPU, preferably something plastic, but a flat screwdriver should do the trick too, just be extra carefull.

Or maybe a pencil. A plastic mechanical pencil for example.

You should try to push the the latch on the PCIE socket (on the motherboard) to free the GPU.

You should never try to force anything on PC!

Would it be easier to just push it back in?

A wood pencil?

The way I took the card out at the angle the io on the card is stuck on the edge of my case https://discord.com/channels/@me/704515630505787402/863897937281286155
