24 pin atx connection socket

Omar Strobe · Nov 24, 2014

i was taking out my mobo to put it in my new pc case and the 24 pin connector is so hard to remove. i was afraid if damaging my mobo when removing it cause of how much force i had to apply. do you think i somehow hurt my motherboard everytime i remove it or its made to take that force in that area? im worried cause i just bought my mobo 2 months ago its aasus z97-ar and i would hate repairing or buying it again too soon

just be careful, try to wiggle it side to side as you remove it.

also, another option, is to get a 24pin extension cable.
the idea is this, if possible take your cpu with you (or your board but that would require removing the board itself), take it to the store where you would buy a 24pin extension. with your 24pin removed, try out the extention, hoping you'll find one that removes easier. if so, buy it and use it. although, if you are not doing this too often, it should not be an issue.

or try to loosen it up after you removed it, maybe it will fit better

make shure you press the retaining clip all the way and pull strait .

i always use the clip. also is it ok to plug in the case fans where it says cha_fan 4 since i took up all the cpu_fans on the board?

case fan could go on any of the plug name for it and the cpu fan must use it own cpu fan connector .

scout_03 :

well i plugged in the case fans where it says cpu_fan 3 and 1, and the cpu fans where it says cpu fa_2 and cha_fan4, is that fine??

cpu must be in cpu fan one and 2 no case fan to these .

scout_03 :

so pulling the 24 pin connector with some force wont harm my board? i have a lot of ocd with it since it was hard to remove

i am just worried that everytime i remove the 24 pin connector when its difficult to remove i will somehow bend or damage the board or hurt the 24 pin socket and rip it off.. does removing it damage it or hurt it somehow? i ordered that 24 extension so i wont worry no more

Cons29 · Nov 26, 2014

how often do you do it? just get the extension and pray that it is better

scout_03 · Nov 26, 2014

you not always have to unplug the atx 24 pins connector unless you remove the psu from system or the motherboard let see when you have the extension what happens .

Cons29 · Nov 27, 2014

also, if you have a fully modular psu, remove the 24pin from the psu end and not the mobo end. that is another option

removing the connection in general wont harm my mobo?
