USB 3.0 help

[Mythical]

I'm building my first pc, my USB 3.0 has a regular USB coming out of it. Do I need to plug it in to the mobo for the USB 3.0 to work? If so, I only see 1 F_USB. Do I plug it in to the TPM pins? What are the TPM pins for?

That cable in the picture is a USB 3 front panel connector with a USB 2 front panel connector coming off it, if your motherboard has a USB 3 header on it then plug the main block into that then the samller block into one of the nearby USB 2 headers.

Dont worry about the TPM connector, dont plug anything into that on the motherboard, thats for a special device that you can buy called a Trusted Platform Module, and would plug into there if you had one. The TPM would be mostly utilized by applications that require or are related to security, such as encryption/decryption, and authentication, windows bit locker etc.

Which motherboard is it ?

As long as there's a 3.0 front panel connector and its plugged into the correct mobo header it'll run 3.0 speeds. Note the connected USB device also needs to be 3.0 to take advantage of this.

Which motherboard is it ?

It's a gigabyte h110m-a. I only see one F_USB at the bottom of the board that's already taken. Does the USB have to be connected for the 3.0 to work

If the F_USB at the bottom is already taken, just plug main big block into the USB 3.0 header, only the front USB 3 ports on your case will work (the blue ones), the USB 2 ones wont work (the black ones)

What do you have plugged into that F_USB header ?

A 2.0 from the front panel. There's also one coming from the USB 3.0. At the front there is one 2.0 and one 3.0. The 2.0 is already plugged in to the F_USB, so why are there 2 2.0s when there is only 1 at the front

Not quite sure, maybe the USB 2 that is branching out from the USB 3 cable is just in case you dont have a USB 3 header on the motherboard, so that you can use the USB 3 port on the front of the case as a USB 2 port, save it going to waste, but as you do have a USB 3 header on the motherboard, plug into the USB 3 header on the motherboard.
