Hello
Like I wrote, this is a n00bish question and since it's a new and expensive GPU for me (x2 the average salary where I live), please try to answer the following question and perhaps you'll ease my fears for the next several hours:
I had the need to remove the GPU from the motherboard and I forgot to press down the 'lock' first so the GPU can come out easily. So just with a gentle tiny bit of forceful pulling up first the 'loose' end poped-out as it should while the other end of the GPU needed a bit more of pulling up before it too came out. Only later I noticed the 'lock' which of course went 'unlocked' as a result of me pulling out the GPU. So what are the chances I damaged something on the GPU ? Nothing is broken though, so should I be worried ?
