Front USB3 headers are CRAP

[KING_OF_SAND]

So last night I was working on some cable management and in the process needed to remove the front I/O USB3 header. After removing the header I looked closer and found one of the pins was bent and found one pin missing. Lo and behold the missing pin was stuck in the male end of the front I/O! My USBs still both work, but the second USB 3 kept disabling from my computer while the first one is still working at full USB 3 speeds.

The pins are WAY to fragile, fragile enough to were the male end of the USB 3 connection can rip out pins. I am no noob to computer and have been working on for years and have ALWAYS been extra careful. I think this is something manufacturers should change to a more durable pin configuration.

if you consider time and money they have to produce them, they wont really spend 10 minutes staring at them to see if they are perfect, besides the computers only do what the designers tell it to do.

as we should all know time equals money

A bent pin here and there is more okay than having the male end of a head litterally pulling out pins. these clearly are not seated very well
