GA-990FXA-UD3 no front panel USB3

[m_bisson]

Hello,

I have a Corsair 500R case and it comes with front panel USB3. The connector fits perfectly into the plug on the mobo for USB3 but I can't actually get the ports to work. Is there a step I'm missing in enabling the USB3? The ports on the back of the motherboard work fine, and I've got all the drivers installed and up to date.

Under the Integrated Peripherals section of the BIOS there should be two options for USB 3.0 one labeled R_USB30 controller and one called F_USB30 controller make sure the are both enabled for front and back to work.

Funny that you mention that, I JUST rebooted to confirm that they are enabled. They are.

It works... I turned the PC off, unplugged my PSU and disconnected the cable for the USB header, reconnected it, and SHABAM!


It's possible that it came loose on my drive home from my parent's house (where I assembled the PC). I feel like a noob.
