Today I tried to fix rattling noise coming from the 200mm fan in my case and thought it would be good idea to tidy up my cables as well. So I did but the USB 3.0 port's cable is so thick and annoying I plugged it into my mobo but couldn't get a decent cable management so I unplugged it did some thinking and plugged it again realising that one of the USB 3.0 port's pins on the mobo was bent... Is this a big deal or what?

Grab some pliers and straighten the pin out. Should be zero problems unless you messed it up royally

 

be very careful of the amount of tension you put on the pliers though. Just enough movement to straighten it... gently.

basically, its wrecked if you don't fix, you could wreck it more if you do try to fix it, but its the only way and its not that hard to do :) just be gentle

Slowly and gently.

 

It's broken if you mess it up, already messed up from your mistake. Up to you and its your responsibility lol.
