Hi Lads.

A quick silly question.

What is the name of that bit at the end of the Slot?

Thanks.

3 or 4 months ago i broke it, it was all my fault, i pushed too much.

Anyway it's not a big deal.

Seems to be common, I've seen lots advertised with a broken retention clip.

PCI slots don't have and never had retention clips. Only x16 PCIe slots have them and some weird open ended x8 slots.
