My son ripped the connector mounts off the PSU.
#I can't find this anywhere. What can I do with it? The power supply works 100%

It looks like the connector body has come away leaving the pins intact.As long as the connector pins are undamaged/bent, just push the connector body back in and superglue it.

I'd contact corsair customer support to see if they can send a replacement. if you can add the above image to them

What did your son do with them then?

I assume he pulled them out by pulling from cable without pressing that release "lever", which should leave those connector housings to end of cable.

Lost somewhere. Exactly Bro

He's only 10 years old. There is nothing to expect from such a young man xD

You should be able to get a 'for parts or not working' item for cheap from an auction site and rob the connector body from that

I would just plug it back in without the support. Can't do much harm when in the system it wont move.

I bet OP broke it, worst blame your 10 year old son thread ever

Are using all of the ports on the PSU, if not just plug it in the next one and as long as you don't stick your finger in it you're grand.

This seems the easiest option, I'f probably but some insulation tape over the hole too.

Use it without or use another socket. Just cable tie the cable to the next one along to hold it in place.

I'm not seeing any broken or bent pins so you should be able to just push the connector body back into place. I'm sure Corsair will be able to send you one.

I would just glue the cable back permanently without the support.

Also, don't let a 10 year old mess around with high voltage power supplies.
