I have the Corsair Carbide SPEC 002 and I was wondering if the M5A78L-M/USB3 motherboard would have the right connections to connect the case cords to it. Sorry, I don't know much about this stuff, im still a newbie. Thanks to anyone who replies!

The m5a78l-m plus/USB has the USB 3 connector on the bottom. And yup it can support 2 USB 3 ports

I've got the connector on this but one is USB 3 the other USB 2 on the front of the case

I dont think any mobos have 2 USB 3 headers. Only 1. There's not enough room for 2 or more.

The rest of the USB 3 ports will be on the back of the mobo

I've read more on this subject and I've found that 1 USB 3.0 header that you can plug into on the motherboard can power 2 USB 3.0 Ports, is this true? I would only have to find a motherboard with 1 USB 3.0 Header if that's the case, and that's fine.
