Asus has released a statement addressing concerns about wear on graphics card contact pins caused by its PCIe Q-Release Slim slots. The company asserts that no damage is expected from normal use, but recommends following installation and removal guidelines to minimize wear and tear. Despite finding no impact on functionality, Asus acknowledges that any PCIe add-in card will exhibit signs of wear after 60 continuous insertions and removals.
excessive wear on a graphics card 's contact pinsmotherboard'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., 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.
"Despite this, we have found no impact on the functionality of either the graphics card or the motherboard." Though Asus is keen to point out that you should follow its guidelines every cycle and not apply excessive force to ensure coverage… though how it proves any of that by the time a claim rolls around, I don't know.
In all my years benchmarking the same graphics card over and over again, I've never seen any noticeable signs of wear on the contact pins. Maybe some light scratching from dust in the slot, but nothing I would consider detrimental to the card's longevity.
