MOBO has no front USB 3.0 while case does. Will it fit?

Bryan121813 · Aug 18, 2015

Hey guys, so I have bought all the part already and I have not started building yet. I bought an MSI H81m-p33 motherboard and a Corsair 100r case. The motherboard has USB 2.0 headers while the case has USB 3.0 headers. I don't really care if I can't use the front panels as USB 3.0, but can I use them as USB 2.0 headers? If not, is there anything I can do to fix this? Thank You for any help.

Yes I had the same problem. You will need a converter cable

something like this: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812201039

Are there any local stores like Bestbuy, Walmart, Target, etc. that sell this? Because I don't feel like waiting another 4-7 days just for a cable

Well first of all I would discourage anyone from buying anything from Walmart for obvious reasons.

When you mean local store do you mean USA? What city?

I don't know where you are from, but any local computer shop would do the trick (You know the ones that sells parts and builds computers). I checked on the bestbuy website and I couldn't find any. I doubt target has that. Try to find those little computer stores and go ask them, I'm pretty sure you will find it there.

Or maybe you can try to buy it on newegg.com and pay for an express shipping. Here in Canada I often get my stuff the next day.

I just need it to be a store that I can drive to and buy it. Thanks for the help though. I think I'll be buying a 2 pack from Amazon for $8 with free 2 day shipping with Amazon Prime if not. Thank you tho.

no problemo. You can still use the computer without the cable. You just can't use the front USB port
