Hey there! I see you're having an issue with your MSI MB B550 Tomahawk and the pantheks neon combo. The female 3-pin connector seems loose, breaking the connection. It looks like the problem is just at that one spot where it should be connected. Have you encountered a similar situation? What steps have you tried to fix it? Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

The connectors rely on friction between the pins and a surrounding plastic casing. A simple fix would be applying black electrical tape—it wouldn’t draw attention unless you choose colored tape or remove it entirely.

There isn’t a truly “clean” answer. It often comes down to locating the best fit and accepting what works in practice. This challenge is very frequent.

It seems like you're dealing with an issue with your RGB connectors. The 4-pin ones are securely placed, but the 3-pin ones are falling off on their own. This could be a manufacturing defect or a problem with the connection. You might want to consider sending the affected case back for inspection and possibly replacement. Your current setup with a fully enclosed metal case is a solid choice if you're looking for reliability.

I know this is an old thread but I wanted to share a solution that worked for me. Just pinch the end of the connector with a pair of pliers so it makes for a tighter fit. That held it in place pretty good.
