I have just been trying to do a gpu upgrade in my Asus X99 based system and after taking the old gpu out the retention clip for pcie socket has broken off it looks to have been getting warm or something as it is discolored where it has snapped off . I will be replacing my current gpu with the Asus strix RTX 2070 Super that has just arrived.
I take it I will have to replace the mobo as I am guessing due to the weight of the new card I need the gpu to be held in place by this clip as well as the 2 screws at the back of the case.
