ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 Usb 3.0 Does it work

[CaptainSirBacon]

I was looking at reviews for the ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 unfortunately I already bought it and I was wondering do the usb 3 work? People say they do not work and im afraid cause i only have 2 usb ports on my case which is a raidmax 402wb. luckily i bought a usb hub but do they work with usb 3.0

The only problem with USB3.0 is that there are only ports on the motherboard. No internal header - for case usb3.0 ports. Otherwise it should be fine - http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B0054U7HIO

The board has 4 rear USB 2 ports & 2 rear USB 3 ports.

As i7 baby says it only has internal USB 2 headers meaning you'll only be able link the black USB 2 port on top of the case to the board.

One of these cables

Will let you use both case USB ports (only st USB 2 speeds) if its important to you.

A USB 2 hub will work on USB 2 & 3 ports.
A USB 3 hub will also work on USB 2 & 3 ports
There are no real compatibility issues.

You can always add an internal usb3.0 header with a pcie card eg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=17Z-0002-00002

I am pretty sure that the USB 3.0 hubs should work.
