Hello Guys!

Okay, so I was on PCPartPicker when I was putting in all the parts that I was purchasing of Amazon when this message popped up

"Rosewill Line Glow ATX Mid Tower Case has front panel USB 3.0 ports, but the MSI H81M-E33 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard does not have onboard USB 3.0 headers."

There are front panel USB 3.0 ports on the case, correct? But, on Amazon it says that there are USB 3.0 ports. So, my question is, are the 3.0 ports on the motherboard rear headers? And will I still be able to install this specific motherboard into my case.

Thanks!

The case does have 3.0 on the front, and the motherboard has 3.0 on the outputs to the I/O shield. However, the motherboard does not have an internal header for the case's 3.0 front panel connectors.
The motherboard will still work fine, you just wont be able to use the front 3.0 ports, unless you get an adapter to a 2.0 header, which will simply run at 2.0 speeds.
