[SOLVED] Roswill case compatible with ASUS Motherboard?

[okrobie]

Hi all, I have a real nice Roswill case with a USB3 cable and connector and I have installed an ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 motherboard, but upon inspection it seems that there is no corresponding connector on the MB. Is there a workaround that is not too dorky?

no

if there are no front panel USB3 connections on the motherboard, then that motherboard doesn't have additional USB3 ports beyond what is in the backplate

That's the confusing thing. It has plenty of USB3 socket connectors on the MB and part of the name of the MB contains USB3. Just not the right kind of connector

those look like USB2.

yep. usb2 front panel connectors. all the USB3 ports are the ones in the back of the motherboard,

Thanks ScrewySqrl, as luck would have it, I have another MB with a
usb3 port on it. So I'll do a swaperoo. Thanks again.
