i would see if there is a video on youtube to help you.
Hello @Geo
It's possible that there may be screws on the other side of the GPU holding the backplate onto the card. Otherwise, use extreme caution and gently pull the backplate aware from the cart around the edges. It should not require heavy force to remove the backplate.
Glad you were able to figure it out.
Does that mean we'll soon be seeing a build on our showcase?
