Hello Everyone,
My motherboard is Assrock b75 Pro3-M, and I would like to know if it has USB short circuit protection?

Thanks in advance.

most motherboards, and that includes your one doesn't have short circuit protection. Best protection you can get is a fuse in the usb device. Through the event of overcurrent through a motherboard is highly unlikely, it isn't worth worrying about.

Thank for your answer.

I have one more question. Has my Assrock b75 Pro3-M any USB ower current protection?

Why I am asking? Because I often programm toys like arduino and microcontrollers and usualy power my devices from USB( in case of arduino )

nope, no over current protection, there is only one solution, is to buy an adapter that is male-female (USB) that is designed for short circuit/overcurrent protection. They shouldn't be too expensive and don't have a 100% success rate either, just added protection in case of damage.
