[HELP!] Connecting front USB 3.0 to back

[rajandeep123]

Hi
This is my second time asking this and I hope I can get a helpful reply this time.
Its my first build and I an choosing a cabinet. I came across Corsair 200r but it has 2 USB 3.0 ports and my mobo doesn't have ÚSB 3.0 headers while the case requires 2. My mobo, however, has 2 USB 3.0 ports in the back. Is there a way that I can connect those to the front of my PC?
Thank You

With that case I'm not sure. A lot of cases do have front USB 3.0 ports that comes with extra cables which are basicly USB extension cables that you connect to the back and goes to the front. With your case though I'm not sure if it has this. So maybe just contact Corsair or check with a retailer who has this case and see if it does support the extension cable

You can get technical support on the Corsair website

Many MB's that support USB 3 will have a header on the MB to connect the front USB 's to. What MB do you have?

I am going to use MSI 990 FXA GD65. It doeasn't have any usb headers.

 

[ZionZA]

Yeah. that only has USB 2.0 internal headers. Check with corsair on if you can connect the back panel USB to the front panel on the case you mentioned.

I saw the unboxing and the case has that cable for USB 3.0 that goes with the header, Is there an adapter for that?

 

[ZionZA]

How do you mean adapter? The cable I'm talking about is an actual usb extension cable. Some cases use them for USB3. Newer cases though I don't believe would still do that

I get what you mean, the 200r doesn't have that
