Hi all,

Bought a new motherboard: ASRock Z9Z Extreme 4 for intel cpu. But I noticed on the packaging that it has front panel USB 3.0. My case is the BitFenix Merc Alpha (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case.


I checked on pc partpicker it issued a warning

"ASRock Z97 EXTREME4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard has an on board USB 3.0 header, but the BitFenix Merc Alpha (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case does not have front panel USB 3.0 ports."

I know I should checked this before I bought the mobo - but it is what it is. Will this be a problem? Does this mean that my mobo won't fit in my case?

I haven't opened the mobo out of the static packaging just in case I have to return it.

Many Thanks

It will fit your case, but the front USB ports on the front of the case won't have a place to connect to the MB.

Opposite actually. You will have both a USB 2.0 and 3.0 port on the motherboard. But your case only has USB2.0 ports.

You will still have USB3.0 ports directly off the back of the motherboard.
