Greetings. Situation is as follows: 2500k, z77-A, 8g ram, gtx960, 3 HDD (2.5tb tot) Thermaltake Berlin
I have two usb 3.0 ports and four 2.0 on the back, 4 more 2.0 to the front and they all work well, no hiccup or slow transfer data or failure to detect usb pen, cellphone, 3-led usb light, external hdd, external sound card, usb headset, keyboard and mouse.
The problem is that they don't seem to output nearly enough power to either detect or fully support peripherals like gamepads or racing wheels.
So far I tried three items: a DualShock 2 hooked to one of those blue triangular adapters with the chinese drivers (Twin PS to PC), a generic PS2-PS360-PC wheel, a generic plug and play dualshock knockoff (no drivers needed).
Originally, all three worked flawlessly, except for whenever I tried to use rumble with the DS2, it would disconnect (common regardless of the device with most pc pads).
I haven't gamed for quite a while, so I did not notice sooner I guess, but after a full check:
- The chinese adapter only works on one USB 3.0 port, in the other one it blinks (stutters) and tends to shut down. The rumble-makes-it-die handicap still there
- The plug and play pad does not work at all anymore. In the USB 3.0 it boots as unknown device, in the 2.0 it says it had to shut it down because it had issues (not true). Oh, and I even opened it and cut the rumble motors off to see if it would ease the power draw. Nada.
- The wheel is recognized in every single port as 360 pad (as originally intended for full analog support) but only the green light in the back is turned on, the red light in front (power?) is off, and in the gamepad control panel it inputs no signal at all.
As for troubleshooting I tried reset of cmos, all ports empty but the one malfunctioning device, boot on win 10 (currently still on 7), no gpu (not sure if that even makes sense but), let the rig rest for 12 hours all unplugged inside and outside, then took the battery out again and let it sit for ten minutes before booting. Nothing, both on 7 and 10 it shows the same results.
What else can I think of other than looking for a cheap usb hub with external ac adapter option?
