I need an LGA 1155 Z77 MB that has two 20 pin USB 3.0 headers on the Motherboard ????

Exactly, and it seems to be more trouble than I had thought it would be. I have an ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 that I'm using in my system, which has only one 3.0 header on the board, which powers my front case USB 3.0 ports, but I'm building a system for my Dad and the specific card reader that he wants in the build has two USB 3.0 connections on the front of it, meaning I need another header for the case ports or a PCI to USB 3.0 card, which I really don't want to do.

I have that exact page bookmarked, but when I started looking into it there was some scuttlebutt about mixed up signals and such, from one device to another. Whether it is true or not, I don't know, but it sounds better to me to be pulling each set of USB 3.0 port's from their own header.

I have looked high and low....... Is there a motherboard at any price or any socket, that comes with two onboard USB 3.0 headers?

I'm at a loss as to how they expect you to connect a card reader that's only power source is a 20 pin USB 3.0 connector, when there is only one on the board and every case known to man these days has to have one to power the USB 3.0 ports in the front of the case!
