Hello from England!

My PC is going to be RMA'd tomorrow because of a faulty motherboard and I needed to take out 670 because it didn't come with the PC.

Now it's stuck as soon as I unscrewed it, unplugged and tried to pull it out. I don't wanna damage the motherboard by applying too much force on the infernal plastic lever so what should I do?

1) send the Pc with half stuck GPU and have a chance of them not repairing it for free

Or

2) attempt to remove it

You need to rock the card back into place. If you can't put it back in check the silver back plate on the card. Make sure it's not hitting the motherboard, or any part of the case. Some cases have guide slots which can get in the way of putting a card in be sure to avoid those.

Or you can apply a little downward pressure on the card above the tab. Then using a chopstick or similiar item. push down on the end of the black tab. It should be about the same force you use to crack your knuckles.

I love you. It was indeed hitting the bottom back place and I failed to notice that as it looked alright to me.
Card's out.
