P5B, P180... problem with front USB connector

[stefx]

Hi
I just finished my system today. Everything is going pretty well except that the front USB connectors (on the front panel of the P180) don't work (the rear ones work)

I connected the case's front USB connector into the mob USB78 connector (lower right). Do I have to activate this connector somehow?
The mobo is P5B deluxe (non wifi)
Thanks

I've got a P180 with an MSI 965 Platinum and they work fine for me. I've got to ask, but are you sure the connections are all correct?

The connector from the front panel wasn't several individual pins.
It was one solid connector, with a slot to prevent wrong orientation

Got the exact same combo brozz, but i cant help
Just started on it last night. Waiting for my Tygon be4 i can hook water up.
Will stay tuned and post my results mid week.
Try looking thru bios for usb options. Also swap the rear and front around. This will let u know if its a cable or mobo issue.

PS. U really need 6x rear + 2x front?

I'll try that

USB on the front are a must for me. I wouldn't want to have to use the rear connectors everytime I use a USB memory stick or transfer the pictures from the digicam.

it's fixed now. The connector wasn't inserted deep enough it seems. I just took it out and reinsterted it.
