    USB 3 Passthrough Question

What I also knew is that my motherboard does not have USB 3 headers and that the USB 3 cable in the case is a "passthrough". I read that to be able to use the front ports you have to buy an adapter that...

    Rebuilt system, now there's no display

    Tested it out using a friend's computer and it still didn't work. So I took it to a local computer store and he told me it was my motherboard. Sent it in and got a new one, everything is fine now. Thanks all!

    I selected your answer as solution by mistake. I have a clear CMOS button on the board, do I press it while the computer is running?

    Z11 vs xPredator vs HAF XM

    Between the Zalman Z11 Plus, the Aerocool X PREDATOR X1 and a second hand Cooler Master HAF XM, which is best? I'm in South Africa so I'm going to be working with rands. I'm getting the Z11 for R939, the X1 for R893 and the second hand HAF XM for R1000(from a friend). What do you think is better?
