[SOLVED] GPU connector damaged. Need some guidance.

[saadr224]

Hi. So, I was cleaning my GPU (MSI G X 1060 6G) and noticed that from the coolers side a wire was attached to the main board like this, and it's connector had 4 wires connected to a header, one of those was damaged/torn. Is it repairable ?
Like out of these multi coloured wires say one was torn out of the connector.
Also, i tested the GPU and it is working fine but i want to know if the damaged wire will be a problem for me or not. Should I have it repaired or keep using it as it is? Thanks.

On the gpu both fans still work?


Which color cable was pulled out of the connector?

Yes both fans are still working.
And the black color cable was pulled out of the connector.

That is a ground wire, likely because one of those is still connected you don't experience problems. If you have someone that can fix it for you would i let them do that.

A video about how you might be able to do it yourself,
