USB 3.0 Header Doesn't Stay Put

[Madmick]

In the course of putting together this build on the ASRock Z75 Pro3 motherboard, I've noticed that the USB 3.0 header keeps sliding out to the point that I believe once I turn it on the connection will be lost; it literally comes halfway out while I'm nudging it by managing the other cables while hooking them up.

It's clear which way it's meant to go in. There is a plastic arrow that slides into a center groove on one side of the header. Is this common? Should I use electrical tape to secure it?

Yea just tape it in, I had the same issue with my asrock fm2a75 pro4. I taped it.

Okay, I figured; I couldn't imagine what I might be screwing up with something so straightforward, but ty, it's always nice to hear it isn't user error. They should add a locking mechanism to the thing, but whatever, everything else about about working with these Corsair 200R's has been an absolute dream.

Agreed.

Yea that was my first Corsair case and I was very happy with it 🙂

In the past, I have bent an unwilling cable to the position I need, and used a hair dryer to heat it up (not too much), then let it cool. Depending on the cable size, (after it cools off) it takes a set and holds the shape.
