Yes I saw it. I checked the motherboard, it doesn't look like it has any kind of physical damage. And I'm on the latest bios version. I also just cleaned my pcie slots (both of them), but it's still not fixed.
And I can't check if the cpu pins are bent because I will have to remove my aio cooler and cpu, then apply thermal paste and reseat them. And I don't have any thermal paste left. I'm already experiencing overheating issues, and it would just make them worse.

Ok get more thermal compound and then come back, also make sure the aio mount is not too tight as that can distort the motherboard causing stress on traces and make weak contacts to lga pins

Does your board have anything resembling "detect non-compliance" feature ?

I would try DDU NV driver, and installing something a bit older.

When I built my PC back in 2020, it was the only good unlocked CPU available in my area (and I really needed to overclock). The non-F version wasn't available. And I bought the afox version because it's cheaper and has 2GB vram instead of 1gb. Also as you can see this is the only GT 610 that can be overclocked by THAT much. It's a 300+MHz OC on the core clock!

Thanks. But it's still not fixed. I don't know what to do.....

If I were you I would not worry about it until you are actually running a modern GPU. When upgrading, check for debris on the slot or something.

Hey, today I got my thermal paste and in the process of trying to check CPU pins, I reseat my cpu and also cleared CMOS. Now for some reason my gpu shows as pcie 2.0! Thank you so much everyone who tried to help me!

I'd count it as mobo warp/improper pin alignment/contact.
