Hello. I have a big noctua air cooler and it's hard to reach in to unclip the GPU clip on the mobo. I usually use a screwdriver or chopsticks but they tend to slip before the clip is unlocked. Any pro tips on how this can be done easier and safer? Thank you!

    Use a #2 pencil, and use the eraser end of the pencil to unlock the latch.
