Can i make 2xUSB 3.0 ports work on my PC box's front?

ermitanas · Apr 7, 2016

One PC specialist said that my motherboard is not suitable for USB 3.0 in front of my box, that's why he haven't connected it. Is that true?

My motherboard: Asus B85M-G

My PC box: Tracer X-Ray, Midi tower, without PSU, USB 3.0

He seems to be half right/ There does not seem to be a USB 3 header on your motherboard for the case to connect to, but you can get an adapter cable and plug in to the back of the computer USB 3 ports and in effect move them to the front of the case.

The specialist is wrong.

https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/B85MG/HelpDesk_Manual/ - the manual says on page 1-18 that there's a USB3.0 header right under the ATX motherboard connector.

Also the specifications at https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/B85MG/specifications/ list a USB 3.0 header for 2 additional ports under Internal I/O Ports.

All you have to do is plug in your USB 3.0 front panel plug and it should work.

Incorrect, look at the specs on the motherboard it does have a USB 3.0 header

I have plugged my front panel USB 3.0 and it works! Thanks, it seems my specialist was just an idiot who suggested me buying a new motherboard.
