the ports themselves are soldered to the board by the shell and connection pins

they are normally a solid connection, but can break with alot of force

if its a laptop, the port can hold the laptop
but the port on desktop boards will not be able to hold the case + psu and other components

if you plug and unplug stuff often, get some short usb 3.x cables so you dont wear the mobo/case usb connectors

In general, my system case stands on the smooth surface of the window sill. The motherboard is new, Gigabyte B760 GAMING X DDR4. I was just checking all the openings for durability and operability. Therefore, there were several times when, without holding the system unit with one hand, I smoothly pulled the mouse out of the usb slot on the motherboard by the cord. Some of the openings are tight, and the system unit dragged a few centimeters along the windowsill, and it pulled out more smoothly from some usb ports.

People have broken USB sockets before so exercise some common sense when plugging them in and out and avoid being too sloppy.

are the usb/lan/audio/display device connectors rubbing on the io shield?

if they do, the board may not be installed correctly
power it off, and remove the gpu, and loosen the mobo screws by a turn or two, then slide the board around til its centered on the io shield openings, and tighten it down securely

Thank you, encouraging response.

No, I don't see any friction on this shield. and by the way, I have a non-removable shield, in terms of this shield it is not removable, it is sewn into the gigabyte motherboard. The motherboard is securely fixed in the case

You don't pull ANY cord, never. You grasp and pull the plug not the cord/wire with one hand and hold what ever you need to with the other hand, if applicable.

You can damage cords and outlets as pulling the cord can cause fires and electrical shocks.

You ever rip off one of those tiny resistors on a Motherboard, now you are in a world of hurt so don't go being like Jane and using a high powered vacuum to clean the PC dust.

How is this possible if I was pulling on the keyboard and mouse cord?)

You ever have to deal with a split/torn insulated wire and had to find the break to resolder it or replace the entire cord and/or device?

Ever rip out a MOBO cable and see the entire board come off with it or crack in half because of heat bonding?

I have seen it all and for one, USB sucks to fix. That MOBO cable is easy to remedy prior to heat bonding, simply apply/use dielectric grease around the outside of the male connector.

Honestly, I haven't had any cases. What gives me cause for concern is not the cord from the keyboard or microphone, which I smoothly pulled out of the socket at an even angle. And the usb ports themselves on the motherboard. What can you say about this?

Only a matter of time when you destroy your components and come here crying about how you need to learn soldering or waste more money on new devices.

You pull things from the plug, not the cord, kid. Lesson learned the hard way.

One of the easier cords to damage (and repair) are vacuum cords so they make some wireless now.

Baby, I don't know what kind of story you had there, but you obviously overdid your whining, because electrical damage (unlikely with normal gentle stretching): damage to surface protections (TVS diodes, polyphuse), VBUS/GND contacts. These elements are more likely to fail due to fluctuations / overvoltage, rather than from a mechanical jerk.

When you pull on cords like that, especially USB cables, you have a higher potential to break the wiring inside these cables or eventually create a break between the plug and sleeving. Best to avoid it altogether and gently pull from the actual plug instead.

Also when you bound up your cables, avoid bending them. Wind up unused cables in a circular method/means to minimize its overall size it would take up while also avoiding bending them

На микрофоне Behringer c1 u, довольно крепкий штекер и его было не жаль тянуть. Я не переживаю за это, провод микрофона, дело наживное, всегда можно купить. Одна тут страсти рассказывает, что можно повредить микрокомпоненты резисторы транзисторы... боже мой думаю, начала тут в панику вгонять мадам xD По своей сути, есть ли вообще угроза материнке? На этой материнке гигабайт, есть фиксаторы у разьемов, как раз таки от натяжения как я понял. Не знаю даже, подскажи товарищ есть ли повод бояться? Это было всего раз 5 от силы. В разные дни...

quit spreading more lies

you can not start fires pulling on usb cables, or even get a shock
it can damage the cable or maybe the port if not pulling straight out
but usb has current limits and only 5-20v(*20v if using quick/fast charger), it wont damage anything beyond the cable

the device will not work with broken cable, thats the extent of it
