I'm looking to have a PC built and the site (pcspecialist) told to reconsider my option for the 2 PORT USB 3.0 INTERNAL PCI EXPRESS CARD me this on my build
'The ASUS Rampage III Extreme motherboard only has one internal USB header port, and therefore we strongly recommend you order the NZXT Internal USB Expansion Device, which can be selected under the "USB Options" category. This will convert the USB header into three headers, allowing you to connect and power up to four front USB ports and a memory card reader.'
I looked at the NZXT, it was fine but it wasn't USB 3.0. I'm trying to make this PC as future-proof as possible. Looking at the description of the motherboard I found this under the USB section,
USB Ports 2 x USB 3.0/2.0 ports (at back panel)
9 x USB 2.0/1.1 ports (2 ports at midboard; 6 ports at back panel, 1 reserved for ROG Connect)
I'm really confused, what actually is a USB header? Does it really matter if I only have 1? What should I do? Will it only be USB 2.0 if I go for the NZXT?
