How to remove 24 pin power connector

[computerwonder]

Motherboard is a asus p8z68 and I can't get the 24 pin connector out I'm pushing the clip at the back and pulling but nothing is happening I'm scared to really pull any help

lol, there is no way you can pull it without forcing make sure you push the clip while pulling it

I'm pushing the clip in on the back butthereisnt some sort of release on the motherboard.

If it's a pre-build system, the connector is sometimes secured with a drop of hot-glue. You have to cut that with a screw driver or a knife.

push the clip, push DOWN first on the ATX connector then finally pull UP

That's what I'm doing, the clip on the back of the connector I'm pushing that and pulling up however nothing....and I'm pulling any harder I'm scared I'll break it, just to confirm there isn't a switch on the mobo like the pic e slots....

System was built by me but for the life of me couldn't get it out however it came free eventually xD

The way how I did it is that I push the clip, wriggle the connector from side to side, then pull out the connector. If the connector won't come out, push the clip and wriggle some more. Make sure you are pushing the clip the whole time.
