[SOLVED] Does any Micro ATX motherboard have front-panel USB3 connector ?

[bourne_again]

Hi,

I am under the firm impression that only full-sized ATX motherboards have connectors that let USB3 ports be available on the front panel of the PC cabinet. Just wondering whether there are any Micro ATX motherboards too which have front-panel USB3 connectors ?


Thanks for any information,

Even mitx boards have the option to plug in cases front panels that are equipped with USB3...which USB3 version are you talking about specifically and which board(and case) were you looking at to come to this impression?

Even bargain bin A320 boards come with USB3 headers, these days.

I had an ASUS Micro ATX Motherboard M5A78L-M (https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B0076Z2LD6) which I could not get USB3 connections at the cabinet's front ports. Maybe I just did not assemble correctly, or perhaps this particular board did not really have front-panel USB3 headers.

That board is pretty old, and does lack USB3 headers. I do not think many did, back then, on the lower end of the budget spectrum.
