i installed a new videocard (hd 7870 XT) in my mobo (asus b85m-G) but i accidently broke the little plastic thing of m\the PCIe slot, i installed it anyway but with no click. the computer is wroking fine but is there anything where i should worry about? and what is that plastic thing doing there anyway? thanks
