Does the USB 2.0 connector allow me to have USB 3.0 as well or no? My motherboard is a ASUS P8Z77-V LX which has a slot for the USB 3.0 connector. However, my phantom 410 chassis does not have a USB 3.0 connector even though it is USB 3.0 compatible.

Even if the only USB connector that came with my case says USB 2.0? Also, I only have it plugged into the USB 2.0 slot on my motherboard. Will this still cover for USB 3.0?

Where can I find a USB 3.0 controller if it didn't already come with my chassis?
