[SOLVED] Need help replacing the GPU in my Alienware ALX (2011 model)

[vellen08]

Hi, I was able to upgrade the GPU a few (or more) years ago and had a video with instructions. I've purchased another graphics card but can't figure out how to remove the old to put in the new. Does someone have a video for this? Thanks!

there should be a small clip to press on it to remove it from pcie.

This would probably be great if I had an R4. My setup inside is different. I can't get to any screws above the gpu

that would be impossible that you cant get the screws out of gpu. maybe at least a pic. i cant find any 2011 alx motherboard. only R4 motherboard im seeing on google.

That's what I found, guess my son has an artifact. I think I do see where the screw in. Going in.

Thank you.
