*breaks with minimal force*
It's a shitty connector, but you'd have to be a clumsy retard to actually break one.
The pins bent pretty badly when I put it in perfectly straight, never had it happen on other board
You're a gorilla fisted retard aren't you? I've never broken one of these in my life and i have built dozens of computers.
no actually, i carefully put the connector in
I put the connector in backwards on my first build, broke off one of the pins.
It is a pretty shitty connector though, it is massive and the connector on the cable is always so bulky.
I hate this one.
It never stays in it's socket, always falls out if I bump the cable.
Apparently not.
*blocks your chance of getting anything else productive done for the day, because I decide to say "fuck working"*
Heh, nothing personnel, wagie.
you made me curious, what brand/motherboard is this?
I don't know how else i could've put it in, honestly
it went in the exact same way only after i bent the pins back into place
PC load error, what the fuck does that even mean!?
It's PC Load Letter you dumb fuck
Forgive me autism-san, it was a shamefru dispray of ignorance.
Colour scheme would suggest Asus P8P67 series, possibly a different chipset from that era
A lot of the asus AM3 and AM3+ boards had that scheme as well.
Xer is just jaded. They've likely been shamefru at least once.
I broke one once and I have no excuse. It was at an awkward angle but I didn't take the time to do it right.
Weird, never broke one.
I had that plastic part pop off of the board when I tried removing the connector once.
Still 1000X better than the god awful front panel connectors.
>Cable falls out from breathing on it
>bend pin back
Oh wow it works again. So hard. So broken.
I literally have to deal with these all day long. They are not hard or flimsy. The only times I have ever seen an issue is when one of the pins wasnt aligned quite right and got bent when they slapped the connector in. Unless the pin is completely broken off (which I've personally never seen) you just bend it back and it just werks.
SATA cables and SATA power plugs break far more often than the 3.0 headers.
I've bent the pins on two of them so far, it's really easy
I bent the pin back and it snapped off
This happened to me once too. I had to use a mechanical pencil to bend a pen back. I always use my fingernail to push down on the plastic while I pull the cable out now.
fpbp
I actually think removing it is what did it for the pins on my one.
Try tug it gently, nothing.
Wiggle side to side gently, nothing.
Give it a nice tug, comes out, but the pins are all fucked.
FUCK I HATE THIS FUCKING PINOUT ON THE MAINBOARD, IVE NEVER EVEN GOTTEN MY FRONT 3.0 PORT TO WORK ONCE, FUCK THIS GODDAMN SHIT PINOUT DAMN YOU GIGABYTE AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS.
It's a shit tier pinout. They coulda just made the pinns a little thicker and it would probably solve the problem.
