[SOLVED] Motherboard and VR

[jscoyne2]

First off, i meant to post this in VR section but every single forum section has a "ask a question" part but the Vr section. Just saying, maybe admin look into that?

Anyway, i have this motherboard https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z77 Extreme4/

and i recently purchased a Oculus rift S. I did the Oculus compatibility check and it gave me two signs. 1. was that i couldn't run it in Win 7..which is idiotic but fine. The other is that my usb wasn't good enough. i did some short googling and found a link to this Usb for Oculus users.

I just wanted to make sure it would fit on my motherboard and perhaps if anyone sees in future problem i should address now.

Full system is.

Rtx 2060

According to the webpage that lists your Motherboard, you do actually have USB 3.1 ports. I see how you'd get confused, USB 3.1 is an upgraded version of USB 3.0 (the USB type the oculus rift s requires), USB 3.1 is backwards compatiable with USB 3.0, so you won't have to buy that thing from amazon.
