W Walex Honorable Apr 21, 2013 4 0 10,510 Apr 21, 2013 #1 A silly question, but this is my first build. My case has a USB3 port in front with a 20 pin connector to connect to the MoBo. However, I am using an ASUS F2A55-M MoBo which doesn't have a USB 3 connector. Is there a work around for that?

Solution geofelt Apr 21, 2013 Yes, you can buy a usb3.0 to usb2.0 adapter. It will let you run the front port as usb2.0. Like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812162025 Or... you can buy a usb3.0 add in card that will include a usb3.0 internal header.
