Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO

[Dec_Shaw]

Hi there. 

I recently installed my CPU Cooler.

When I was installing it one of the connectors has broke (One in the picture bellow)

I was trying to put it into the motherboard connector hole, but it got caught on the motherboard tray and snapped but still connected to the cooler. 

I then pushed it in and now its jammed.

After that it was fine, the CPU cooler was stable and wasn't moving, I applied pressure to make sure it was fully stable and it was in good form, except the broken connector. 

 

Running it for over a week now and it's all good.

 

What should I do to be sure it doesn't fall or anything like that. 

Is this a common thing to happen?

 

Thanks.

 

P.S Intel Connectors

Ive installed 3 of them now and none of those connectors broke yet (maybe its because they look fragile --> i'm gentler :3)

 

And to prevent it from falling just take a piece of string or a ziptie and strap it between one of the heatpipes and the VRM heatsink or sth...

not common for the connectors to break but if temps are fine i wont worry about it
