Asus offers several alternative GPU-securing mechanisms as part of its Q-release system, and one has been accused of potentially damaging GPU contact pins.
If there's one internal PC component that has caused me repeated physical pain over my many years of DIY builds, it's the traditional GPU retainer clip.
It's fiddly to get to with a beefy modern graphics card, and seems designed to produce sore fingertips and many curse words if used on the regular.
The solution to my issue is a quick-latch system that makes this fiddly work easier. Though as X user @9950pro highlights, a post on Bilibili says a latch design used on Asus Intel 800-series and AMD 800-series boards may risk damaging a GPU under repeated usage.
As demonstrated above, the quick-release system in question requires you to pull the far left of the card up first (the output socket side) which causes the card's body to push down on the retainer clip.
