Hi guys,
I am currently building a PC and I have been looking at a couple of motherboards. One of them is the ASUS B85M-G. I downloaded the instruction manual from the internet and found in the specs that there are "4 x USB 3.0 ports (2 ports at midboard, 2 ports at back panel)".
From the specs, I was expecting two USB 3.0 headers midboard. However, when I looked at the motherboard layout from the manual, I can see that there is only one USB 3.0 header midboard.
I am guessing that one can use some sort of connection to split this one USB 3.0 header midboard to convert it to two USB 3.0 ports. I have 2 questions regarding this:
1) Can I connect the USB 3.0 header midboard directly to only one USB 3.0 cable connector available from the front panel of a PC case. i.e to get only one USB 3.0 port? The casing has only one USB 3.0 port anyway.
2) Which device should I use if I want to connect the USB 3.0 header midboard such that I get two USB 3.0 ports from it in the front panel of a PC case?
Any inputs would be really appreciated.
Regards
