VGA card slot hook

[dorion]

Just had my motherboard RMA from newegg denied:

The motherboard was received back with physical damage, the VGA card slot hook was broken off. Items received with physical damage cannot be processed by Newegg and voids our return policy. End-user would need to contact the product manufacturer for direct support. RMA denied, return to customer.

BLARGH but i hate the damn hook! I don't have a single motherboard or GPU(all big 2 slot coolers) where I can release the hook! And this hook fell off in the process of my sticking my fingers into the case to release the freaking thing.

Do you also hate the hook?

Never had problems with the hook but don't like it either.

I break that thing off first chance I get.
I do not see how it is physically possible to release that hook when thre is a 3D card in the way.
at least I never managed it. Last time I had to use a screwdriver to get a card out. since then I just break it off before putting a card in.

I like the way my Maximus III Formula board has them, and you just push down and depress the thing and it releases, not the standard hook. I can usually get my finger in there with a large graphics card, but depressing it with the eraser end of a pencil works just fine too.

I despise the standard hook as well.
