Front Panel USB Connector Not Compatible With Motherboard?

PC_IsWhatISee · Mar 25, 2016

I recently just bought the Carbide 100r from Corsair and it's a really good case but it's front panel USB connector is an 18-pin connector I believe. Problem is, I can't find where to connect it to my motherboard and the user manual is no help.

The board I'm using: Asus M5A78L-M LX PLUS

And here's a picture of the motherboard layout:

Your case apparently has a USB3.0 19 pin connector and your motherboard does not. You will need an adapter to make it fit one of the USB2.0 headers instead. It will then work at USB2.0 speeds.

Thanks for the response. I thought when the motherboard said "USB 3.0 Support" that it'll include the front panel connector for 3.0 but I guess I was wrong. I'm going to go ahead and purchase the adapter now. Thanks again!

...I don't see anywhere that is says it has USB3.0 support. Where did you see that?

Wow, you're right. I've been using this board for over a year thinking it had USB 3.0 lol I guess I was just seeing what I wanted to see.
