Пошкодження на відеокарті після Asus PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim / X
“`html
The new Asus PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim quick mounting mechanism can scratch the contact area of the graphics card. This has already happened with NVIDIA RTX 5090.
Yes, the damage, at least for now, does not lead to graphics cards failing, but it is noticeable. The problem arises due to the new mechanism introduced for Asus motherboards of the Intel 800 and AMD 800 series called PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim. This system is designed to facilitate the removal of graphics processors from the PCIe slot.
Previously, Asus motherboards had a special button to unlock PCIe devices. However, in the latest iteration, this button is omitted, requiring users to pull out the card in a certain way, as shown in the video.
Although the mechanism is intended for greater convenience, it seems that it does not work in the real world. One of the users even conducted a test where the card was inserted and released 60 times, and here is the result:
User X HXL, who shared a screenshot from a Chinese forum, noticed the problem. The General Manager of Asus in China, Tony Yu, in response stated that the issue will be resolved. As reported on forums, this problem may not affect all motherboards. The site Videocardz reports on the affected NVIDIA RTX 5090 — new video cards have already been tested by specialized resources.
At the moment, there is no simple solution. You can insert the video card into another PCIe slot and lose some of the PCIe 5.0 speed. Also, it seems if you insert the video card once and do not remove it, nothing will happen to it. It is interesting to see how thoroughly Asus checks their motherboards, as the problem could have been noticed during multiple stress tests.
