How can I remove my graphics card to install the Wi-Fi antenna?

Asked By GamerDude93 On

I'm trying to build a PC based on a YouTube tutorial, but they didn't mention how to install the Wi-Fi antenna. The graphics card is blocking where I need to place it, and I can't see or flip the clip that's holding the card in place. It's also preventing me from removing the motherboard since it's covering some screws. My motherboard is from the AMD Ryzen 9000/8000/7000 Series. I've included a photo of the setup for better context. I eventually got the card out by breaking the clip, but I'm wondering if it will function well without it. Should I be worried?

If you can't reach the clip, maybe look for a photo of your specific motherboard to see where it is. You could try sliding a wooden chopstick to flip the lever. If you still can't get it, you might have to remove the CPU cooler. Just a heads-up, chopsticks are a safer option than a screwdriver!

Definitely! They're much less likely to cause any accidental damage.

Try using a screwdriver to push the tab down, but be careful not to stab your motherboard while doing it!
