Everyone talks about the levers on RAM sticks, but why the FUCK is nobody talking about levers on PCI-E sticks? I thought those didn't exist and did the same thing as OP.

those can actually get hidden by big ass GPUs. And be pretty hard to release.

luckily they aren't necessary, I've had many people come into my shop after breaking the pcie clips and I just make sure it's screwed in firmly and they're good to go. they are a bitch tho

Lever on my mobo just gave up one day and went under the shroud

That's the thing, at one point they didn't exist. I almost ripped one out of my motherboard when I first got one with a latch.

I did rip one out of my motherboard. But they're purely mechanical so it's not actually a big deal (and the mobo was broken anyway).
