How to Remove a GPU (Take out Graphics Card Tutorial) 

Cool I just stole a pc so I’m taking out the card thank you

Hey man I just went through a hard time with my dad and we are no longer talking. He was my main pc guy but thanks to this vid and the other telling me how to put cards in when I buy a better graphics card I can finally put it in without his help

about to take my 3070ti out (for the first time) for a 4.5hour drive soon, you have reassured me, thank you

Thank you! I didn't even need the tutorial (I was finding it for someone else) but listened to the whole thing due to how calming your voice is

Me at first: *scared of breaking my gpu* a few seconds later: Searches for a video and starts watching this and then realizing it wasn’t as risky as I thought it would’ve been Me after attempting it: literally breaks the clip from the pcie slot

Thank you, i was going to replace my gpu and wondered why it wouldn't come off! (followed all the safety measures in the video)

I thank you so much. I have known my Graphics Card had trouble for about 4 years. Being afraid, and not wanting to spend the big bucks to buy a new one, as well as not knowing how to remove it well, also not damage anything in the process. Well finally it won't populate the monitor in over 36 hrs so it's on the fritz. I can take out the Card from another PC that is also a gaming type and will follow up with more help to see if just putting in the "newer" one will save me.

Every desktop case has its own GPU removal technique. It depends on what case you have. You might need a screwdriver or you might not need.

If you're not savvy, like me, you are taking a MAJOR risk with this. The parts inside a PC are sometimes very difficult to turn, move, plug in, etc. I got my GPUs out and only then realized I didn't have the right tool to get the parts off the get to the fan. Once I realized I wasted my time, I had a nearly impossible time getting the GPUs back in.

I gotta remove the gpu to take off a heat sync so i can access the m.2 slots to add another ssd. I haven’t even received my custom pc but this video helps with the stress of this operation

Thank you i have 13 years and my pc died so i had to switch my graphic card ro another pc and i didnt know how to do it and than i saw ur video!!!

What if I unplug the power cable from the socket and keep it in the pc would it make a differnce?

I don't see that "removing clip" on the prestige x670 Creation ? For the graphics card. I don't want to break it haha.

thank you man, just upgraded from a GTX 1660 up to an RTX 3060

Thank you, I was having trouble finding out how to deal with the lever holding tabs

Thank You, this helped Me get my USB Drives working. This Custom LENOVO came with a screw holding the graphics card in that is (so conveniently) tucked behind a metal flap, so its basically impossible to unscrew unless You have the worlds tiniest screwdriver. I lifted the graphics card best I could and squeezed the USB power plug in behind it into the slot and vwalla , the front slots work now.

Thank you very much its very helpful to me. As a beginner. New subscriber here .

The last time I tried pulling out a graphics card, it ended up in the nearest galaxy, Andromeda

I’m having trouble finding the screws connected to the graphics card

Yo. Nice vid. But as for the screw. Im lost at which type of screwdriver i need

My clip won’t go down

Rlly scared ngl. Never done this and I can’t find any type of lever so I’m hoping mine is just a wiggle like yours. It’s a 1060 and I’m upgrading to a 3060

For some reason I’m not able to take the screws out of the side idk if the screws are old or I’m just using a bad screwdriver

it just doesnt come out, i tried pulling so hard on my rx 580 even with the slot completely open, wtf?

Thank god I didn't use force

I pulled the left side and the other side won't come out did i broke it?

Great video brother I needed this

Thanks, I got a free PC from the recycle (it works) but it has no HDMI port.

i tried removing my gt630 but the vga port keeps getting on the way, any help how to remove it please?

the PCI-E cable doesnt wanna disconnect at all, even if i press down the thing, which for me is on top. i still cant get it out

Thank you so bro your the best😁

How do i do it if my graphics card has a aio cooler?

Your clip is such a life saver

I forgot about the lever on the pci express bus. The card was in there for 11 years. I pulled the card out, and the pci express bus snapped like a cracker. It didn't even take much effort. Buses didn't have levers in the many PCs I built in the 90s and early 2000s so I couldn't imagine anything like this happening. I should have watched your video. My question is, since my motherboard has a second slot (as a feature for dual sli) can I use that other slot? Guess I'll try and see. But curious what dangers can arise from a motherboard with one broken pci slot?

Can I know if I have a graphics card installed without looking inside or opening my computer??

one of my cable for an extra dvi slot wont come off

Very helpful

Can we remove existing graphics card to install a new one

We’re they all in the PCIe x16 slot?

Does anybody know what screwdriver he uses in the video?

Wait wait what? You didn't remove gpu drivers?

What do you do 1:47 with the cables, whem you removed them

wonder how much fps ill gain after cleaning

which way do you push the lock??

I did everything but it’s only moving abit

my motherboard won't let me pull it out without a lot of force what the fuck do I do? I do not want to break it.

I have no lever :(

Thanks!

The click is stuck and nothing is helpoing

Mine won’t come out

Mine isn't going out and I bendeded a lil battery thankfully it still turns on but mine is different there is nothing to unplug there is nothing to hold but it won't come out 😭

pro tip (i never did this): lay the pc case down so you dont need to hold the GPU while unscrewing the screws

thank you so much

Thanks a lot mate

Good job

I can’t even get my screws untight

The stableizer lever thing seems to be stuck on my gpu idk how to get it off

I just can't disconnect the damn cables cause my fingers don't fit to get it out from the pins. Man 5700xt is a pain in the ASSSSSS

so i have a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GDDR6 and want to upgrade to a nvidia 3070, 3080, or 3090. is that possible since they may be different sizes. i got my pc prebuilt

None of my pcie clips look like thks

If I wanted to change my gpu, should I remove all the cords connected to my pc or just the power and ones connected to the gpu?

What’s that gpu

How to remove video card from motherboard?

very nice ❤❤

As always my lever is the hardest thing to move, shit almost gets wedged

Anyone else have a magic invisible screw in the back left holding it in? The card is out but something in the back left is holding it in so now I’m stuck holding my card up with my left hand typing this with my right. frozen in time until someone replies

iw as taking a gpu out of my old pc that was useless, and i realized the screw rounded out, so im f'd

I avoided this for years it's not hard at all xd

Excellent.

On that second uninstalling (GeForce GTX) it seems to be leaning on the right. Why? Mine does this but a bit much noticeable (msi GeForce RTX 3070).. I'm not too tech savvy but the lean bothers me so much.. can someone help me fix it straight?

thank you so much 👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌❤❤❤

Too hard for me

I breaked the clip

I CANT FUCKINF FIND THE LATCH HELP

Crunchy card 🥴

Nencer of dm

Finally! This bastards wont play any game now! Ha-ha! Gonna wait for him to crawl back for help.
