Hi, I buit my PC on christmas and I noticed that this clip thing (sorry idk how it's called, I circled it on the picture below) isn't actually closed (up). Question : does the clip have to be up ? If so and considering that the GPU is fixed with the screws on the side, is it a big deal if it's not ? Issue : sometimes, my monitor makes a quick white flash, and I don't know if it comes from my GPU, my monitor or anything else and I also have some ghosting issues (the previous picture stays on the screen like you can see below, it's text form a website I just closed). What I already tried : I tried pushing gently on the GPU and also tried to pull the clip up manually but it doesn't work and I don't want to break anything. On the second PCIe slot it's closed, but there is noting in this second slot. These issues happen with both HDMI and DP. Sadly I don't have a spare monitor to test if it's caused by either of the components (monitor or GPU), and it doesn't happen very often (once every 3-5 days for the flashing and once a week for the ghosting), but when I'm using it late at night and there is a bright white flash it's really annoying. Maybe it's also the monitor settings (you can find them at the end). Monitor: iiymama GMaster GB2770QSU Windows 11 Pro 64 bit B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2 (rev 1.1) AMD R5 5600X 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM (3600MHz XMP profile 1) Radeon RX 6700XT SSD nvme (1TP) boot drive Corsair (650W 80+ gold) (dont remember the exact model)

When the clip is open, it doesn’t sit correctly. This clip secures the card firmly. Some boards may need a little effort to fully lower the GPU.
