Hi,
having just read the release notes I wonder how the video card release mechanism works when the card is installed. There is no room between the edge of the card and the back panel to lift it and move it other than upright.
Next the Q-Release of M.2 is nice to watch. But it needs the graphic card to remove before. And I doubt if my Noctua NH-D15 will fit as the no fly zone is fenced with huge walls and the M.2 is now vertically installed. This did work with my Z690-I removing the heatsink of the M.2.
And still this HIVE ... sigh

After some helpful advice this might clearify the issue assuming the q-release feature hasn't been updated :

(Example: ROG STRIX Z690-E GAMING WIFI)
How to use PCIe slot Q-Release to remove the graphics card:
Please follow the steps below to press the PCIe slot Q-Release button and remove the graphics card
1: Press the PCIe slot Q-Release button
2: Make sure the PCIe push latch is pressed.
3: Remove the graphics card in vertical upward direction

As there is no Q-Release button existing on Z890-I this remains still vague.
So possibly the classic PCIe push latch is alternatively to be pressed down oldschool with some manipulandum.
