Guys I want to thank everyone who tried to help. I have tried with a ruler and i manages to get it out.

The easy release feature is one thing I don’t go without.

One of the reasons I ended up paying over the odds and getting the Z790 Aorus Master. There is no substitute for being able to easily unlatch the port.

Used a ruler in the past also to release GPU with a chonk CPU cooler

One day hopefully all mobos don't have this issue, its been an issue for a long time after all.

I've had this problem before too. Ended up having to remove my D15 from the CPU just so I could get my graphics card out. Made installing my new M2 drive in the slot located below the graphics card 5x more of a pain in the ass than it should have been.
