Hey guys, would the motherboard above (first link) support the USB 3.0 front panel connectors on the case (second link)? If they do, how do you connect the USB ports with the board?

The m5a78 doesn't have any usb3 headers , just 2 x USB 3 ports on the rear.

If you want a cheap board with USB 3 case headers then buy the little gigabyte instead.

madmatt30 :

So is it incompatible with this case?

No it'll work fine with the case but you don't be able to use the front USB 3 ports.

If you buy a USB 2-3 converter cable you will he able to use them but at USB 2 speeds

If you don't already own that asus board then just buy the gigabyte one instead if this bothers you.
