Following last week's report of excessive wear on a graphics card's contact pins, suggested to be the result of using an Asus motherboard's quick-release PCIe slot, Asus has released a statement. In it, the company suggests no actual damage is likely to occur as a result.
The issue, as one PC builder explained on bilibili, was that the PCIe Q-Release Slim slot on one of Asus' latest motherboards had caused a large amount of wear to the gap in between contacts on a connected GPU.
