That motherboard has 4 USB 3.0's in the rear. Should it not supoort it in the front? My case has 2 USB 3.0s in front.

Hey there

Nice choice on the mobo and case!
The USB3 cable plugs in to the slot at the bottom right of this picture, to the right of the SATA ports.

Try and move the pins back into position.
If they're completely messed up, then no. You won't be able to plug it in. :S
Why are the pins bent...?

Alex Kelly :

you can still buy a usb 3 adapter to fix it if im correct ?

Alex Kelly · Aug 5, 2014

No? That would make the USB 3 ports runs at USB 2 speed. There is no point.
You should be able to bend the pins back into position using a thin piece of plastic.
Good luck! Let me know how you go.
