I just did my first computer build, but not really. I had an Hp HPE H8-1214 that I converted to a new case (corsair 750d).

I hooked everything on my board except for the two extra front fans that my board doesn't support.
My usb 3.0 is seated correctly and I really dont know what else to do.

Device manager doesnt pull up anything 3.0 related.

Ideas?
 
Hi

Was the USB 3.0 on front panel working before changing the case?
Is front panel USB sockets connected to usb2.0 or USB 3.0 on motherboard
.
Does motherboard manual show clearly motherboard having connections for USB 2 & 3 ?

Regarding case fans do they have mini 3 pin connectors or molex 4 pin connectors .?
If they have mini 3 pin connectors designed to connect to motherboard then adapters are available but run fans at full speed at 12V

Further adapters are available to run fans at 7V instead of 12V
