So I recently built a new computer. the motherboard is asus strix z270e, and the case is nzxt s340 elite.

After I built, it I wanted to re-arrange the cabling. However, when I try to unplug the usb 3.0 cable from the case from the motherboard it would not come off. I'm afraid if I apply more force it will rip the header off the motherboard.

I googled the hell out of this, and people are saying tug on it side to side. some wrote to tug it up and pull it out... I tried these.

Is there a *correct* way to unplug the usb 3.0 cable from the header on the motherboard?

I'm really nervous as a lot of the posts i read they ended up ripping the header off the mobo.

this is a completely new bulid, and I really want to avoid sending it to the mobo heaven.

wish it slide off easily... nothing to squeeze on the sides.

sorry for late response....

it didnt work. i wanted to redo the cabling for the sake of it looking better. i ended up leaving it the way it was cause the thing looked like it was gonna rip off the mobo if i pulled on it any more.
