Asus’ new motherboards could change the graphics card slot forever

A few of Asus’s new AMD 800-series motherboards function an excellent new graphics card retention system that makes it simpler than ever earlier than to take away a graphics card. The brand new Asus Q-Launch Slim function makes use of an computerized launch system such that there’s no have to press a button to unhook your graphics card.

The brand new Asus function might be coming to its AMD-based greatest motherboard contenders within the close to future and can make it a breeze to swap out your gaming GPU. Whereas such a swap for precise graphics card upgrades could be comparatively uncommon for many avid gamers, the necessity to take away a card for different system upgrades or upkeep – similar to cleansing your PC – is a comparatively frequent incidence. This new system might save time and scale back the chance of a broken graphics card, motherboard, or grazed knuckles.

The mechanism, which is demonstrated within the video above, appears prefer it makes use of a normal graphics card retention clip, simply with a large, easy-to-push plastic part on its finish. Nevertheless, this clip is spring-loaded such that it’s at all times open by default, solely closing across the retention level in your GPU as soon as the cardboard is pushed into place.

With the cardboard seated within the motherboard, it’s now securely held in order that if it’s pulled immediately upwards or from the entrance fringe of the cardboard (the half with out the IO bracket and the place the facility cables typically go) the clip will maintain on tight. Nevertheless, for those who pull from the IO bracket finish of the cardboard, the clip lets the cardboard pull free.

Crucially, it’s this IO bracket finish of the cardboard that’s the place you safe the cardboard to your PC case, so, in concept, so long as the cardboard is screwed down, will probably be held safe. I do have a slight fear that there may very well be some conditions the place eradicating these screws might enable a card to swing unfastened, however the merest little bit of assist out of your hand ought to seemingly mitigate this.

The brand new mechanism was showcased by Asus on the Gamescom conference that’s going down this week, with different huge gaming PC {hardware} bulletins together with Nvidia G-Sync being modified endlessly and the reveal of a full Secretlab white desk and equipment lineup.
