Case doesn't have USB 3.0 ports?

fusil · Jun 23, 2013

So I was using PCpartpicker and I got this error message. I looked at pictures of the case, and it appears to have USB front panel ports. Are they only compatible with USB 2.0? Here's the link for my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/19qpY

ASRock B85 Pro4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard has an onboard USB 3.0 header, but the Diablotek CPA-0170 ATX Mid Tower Case w/400W Power Supply does not have front panel USB 3.0 ports.

Do not buy that case. It's crap and so is the PSU.

The case has 2.0, not USB 3.0. Everything about it is cheap cheap cheap.
If all your components are right, you are spending $1200. Don't get a shitty case with a crappy PSU. You'll hate yourself for it.

Three options:
1) Pick a different case, best option - Concur with envy14tpe - More important than your USB3 problem is the PSU - El Cheapy means greater risk that if it goes POOF, so does the rest of your system - MB, CPU, Ram and even possibly the GPU..
2) Buy a USB3 Hub ( I Prefer the powered hubs), plug it into the back USB3 port and place on desk
3) Buy This and mount in case (Just like a dvd drive) and plug into MB USB3 connector:
