also on another note where do I connect the fans to the motherboard just on any fan connectors, I believe I had seen a case that the fans where all plugged to a fan controller and then just needed the power to the fan controller thanks guys for all the help any other info that you need please just ask I will be on here for quite some time.

Hi there,

Sorry, but there are no USB3 headers on Extreme3 mobo.

Ahh man I noticed that after hours online I was thinking of maybe just sending it back and getting a Extreme 4 but was wondering if I could just manage to find a cable that linked to the USB 3.0 from the case to some sort of usb spliter I really dont' want those external ports to be useless. I have been searching online but I can't find a cable like that.

What i am trying to do is connect the case 3.0 USB to the ones located on the back of the mobo. I hope you understand what I am trying to say cause its driving me nutz lol.

Something like this

But with the side that has pins and that turns to 2 USB male connectors

I have found this thing, so I can connect the USB 3.0 connector from the case to something else.

I am hoping to now find something like this but with male cables instead of those.

I don't know if it will work, I personally would not do that, but do u really have a need for all those ports?

So what, that 2 will not work on front.

It will not limit u in any way.

I would not let myself bother with that.

 

[Dukemost]

Yeah I just found all the parts to do it, but yeah man you might be right. I will just see whats to come in the future. I spent way to much anyways lol so I will just wait till its all done i probably won't need them anyways. Thanks man I will hopefully send you some pics when I am done building this thing.
