Hi all, wondered if anyone can help?
I'm upgrading my PC with a new Z170 motherboard, CPU and RAM. This is my first ever attempt at anything more complex that a RAM swap...
After hours of research I'm almost there, but on pcpartpicker there is a compatibility issue as follows:
Asus Z170 PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard has onboard USB 3.0 headers, but the "Cooler Master Storm Scout ATX Mid Tower Case w/700W" does not have front panel USB 3.0 ports.
I've read somewhere that it is possible to wire the USB2 from the front panel through and out of the back of the PC, but that seems a bit messy. Is there a PCI card available or some other way to connect this older Cooler Master's front USB panels to the motherboard?
A new case and PSU is currently out of budget.
Any help (or just pointing in the right direction) would be much appreciated!
Thanks
