In the middle of putting together my new pc and ive started swearing at it.

The USB3 front connector is a right pain to connect, its in now, but i cant believe they thought coming in sideways was the best way to plug into it.

Also the USB C connector, just falls out of its socket. Is this normal? Should there be some kind of click when it goes in?

Also just looking how how im going to get the 2 8pin power connectors in to the mobo is making my fingers bleed in sympathy.

Ah well its all worth it in the end i suppose.

I learned many years ago to use extensions for the 8 pin CPU power.
Just connect the extension before fitting the motherboard and just thread the cable through the hole when fitting the board.
Suppose it adds a extra failure point but it makes it a lot less hassle.

If i remember correctly, mine didn't click in as such but was a tight enough fit to hold it in place.
Just to let you know the connector is keyed/only works in one way. look at the pins in the socket and the connector.

Cable routing behind the motherboard tray can a right pain, use plenty of cable ties if you have any and you will get there.
