When the GPUs are pulled directly from one end, the GPU connector that goes into the PEG is damaged at the bottom. The ASUS Q-Release mechanism allows users to pull back the GPU by slightly tiling it on the other end and instantly releasing it from the PCIe x16 slot. Bilibili reports this damage to one of their users who used the RTX 4070 Ti Super HOF OC LAB on the ROG Strix B850-A Gaming Wi-Fi S.

Another user from Chiphell showed similar damage at the edge when the RX 7900 XTX was pulled out from ROG Crosshair X870E Hero. A third user had the same situation with his Intel DG1 graphics card when he pulled out the GPU from ROG Strix B850-A Gaming Wi-Fi S. Two more users saw damage to their GPU PCIe interfaces, as reported by IT Home.
