Wire too tight
Options
Memmmmm

Bought a prebuilt from microcenter and the wire connected to the graphics card is too tight. When I push the clip, there's no room to wiggle it to come out. Along with trying to unclip it from the motherboard. I need to do this so I can add storage. Will microcenter repair this, since it's their mistake?

It's zip tied to the 24 pin ATX power cable. You can cut the zip tie. We do this for shipping, so that the PCIe cable acts as a shock absorber for the video card.
