Hi All, My front usb ports 2.0 are doing something odd, one doesnt work or recognise anything while the other will detect my xb1 controller and network adapter but wont detect hard drives. i can plug those hdd's in the back ports and everything is detected. as soon as i try the front ports...

Hi, I recently built my first PC after wanting to move back to desktop and I am now trying to get it set up with installation of Windows 10, formatting the USB on a Macbook Pro. I have tried the ISO on two different memory sticks, a cheap 32GB no brand memory stick, and my WD Passport 500GB...

Hi folks, Quick Q - recently bought a USB 3.0 PCIe Card (unpowered) and since installing my computer won't stay shut down. It shuts down but maybe a second later - reboots itself up! I've uninstalled the device and reinstalled - updated driver. It happens when nothing is plugged into the...

Hi all, I have been having issues getting a win10 pro machine to see its RAID drive when a windows update broke stuff. I plan now to temporarily run a fresh Win10 OS from a pendrive to access the raid and back it up. I can get win10 to run on USB using the Win_To_USB app but.... With win10...

Hiya, For the last couple of months I've had an issue with my mouse and keyboard. Every couple of minutes my keyboard will either stop working entirely, all the lights go off on it or which ever key I am holding, for example W, will stick on and I can't stop it until the keyboard comes back to...

I have recently upgraded my motherboard (second hand), CPU (second hand) and memory (new), however I am now having USB external hard drive problems which I didn't have before. I mostly use Teracopy to copy/move files, but since upgrading it fails most of the time on the verifying stage when I...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me. When copying files from a Sony XQD card to my PC I start off getting speeds of 2.4gb per second, then when the transfer gets to around 30% that speeds plummets to 24.mb per second and sits at that speed for the rest of the transfer. I’ve tried...

(I posted this thread in the PC Games section but it was recommended that I post it here too) I'm between broadband providers and have to wait for a week until new connection is set up, so in the meantime I thought I'd tether my OnePlus 6T to the PC. I ran Speedtest and amazingly, I get...

Hello all, I am thinking of going for these components for my first ever proper gaming P.C.: CPU & Cooler: Intel i7-8700K overclocled to 4.8GHz & Noctua - NH-D15S 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix Z370-F Gaming ATX LGA1151 Motherboard GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB Superclocked...

Are external disk drives that have USB 3.0 Superspeed ports on them able to make full use of the Gen 2 bandwidth? Or is it just best to stick them in USB 3.0 (aka USB 3.1 Gen 1) (5Gbps) ports?

Hey guys, This is my first post on OC as I'm usually just lurking but I really need some help on this. I installed ASUS AI Suite 3 today on my machine but when I went to restart, my keyboard and mouse stopped working. Having looked around, it seems that Windows 10 doesn't play nice with a USB...

Hi there forum fellows, First of all let me thank you for the wonderful forum, so grateful to everyone involved! I am looking for recommendations for a USB 3.0 hub, one with 7-10 usb ports. It has to work with a Macbook pro Retina without interfering with it's Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, as most of...

Hello, I bought a system with this motherboard just over a year ago from OCUK (OC3198992) and the headset (standard audio jack) that came with it is giving trouble so it's time for a replacement. My question is: can I use a USB headset (Turtle Beach) with this (Realtek) sound card? TIA...

Hello so for the past 3 weeks, usually once or twice a day all my USB devices connected to the motherboard stop working, usually in the middle of playing a video game and I've noticed that it happens after having my computer on for a long time, although that could just be a coincidence. When...

As title really. I have been asked to give advice on using a USB to Ethernet Adapter. The scenario is that someone is using an Ultra Slim Laptop in an Ethernet wired building with solid walls. She has asked me USB to Ethernet Adapters work and which is the best to use. This is not for playing...

Hi, Just bought the Acer XR342CK and was wondering how to use the USB 3.0 hub on the back of the monitor? It came with a USB-C to USB-C cable which I have connected to the USB-C Port on my Rear I/O, but that doesn't work, as no peripheral connects/can be found. ..And it's not like that is...

I should probably note that this is in reference to conversion cables and adapters, not straight USB-C to USB-C, for example. I got three of those adapters for just under £4 on Amazon. The user reviews seemed good, and up until now they've been working fine. This one in particular was used at...

Hello! I'm in the process of building a new system. I realized that the cat5 network cable i used with my old configuration is from archaic ages, it's been built into the house around 2000. For the new one I'd like to use something better than that, but getting a better cable is not really an...

So I've gone ahead and done something very stupid. Whilst pushing in the USB3 cable into the motherboard's USB3 header, I managed to push and destroy two of the pins, one of which completely snapped off, as so... So now the USB slots on the front of my case no longer work :( My question is...

So can this be done? My instincts say no because USB 3.0 has 9 pins and Cat 5e has just 8 wires. But is it possible to make your own cable that runs USB 3 over two Network cables? So wire four pins into one connector and five into another? I realise that you can buy devices that let you run USB...
