The case I bought has 2 front panel USB 3.0 ports, however the motherboard I was about to buy only has one USB 3.0 header. Will I need to get a different motherboard or is there something else that I can get so both ports work as USB 3.0?

The parts are:

no the two ports connect through 1 cable to the header which should supply both ports.

Thanks. I was looking around for motherboards with 2 USB 3.0 headers for a while and I couldn't find a single one. :/
