Hi all i am currently in the process of putting together an mini-itx htpc build but have run into a problem (1 of many lol) i only have one usb header on the mother board, yet need to connect an infra red sensor to 1 leaving my front card reader and 2 usb's out in the cold.
The motherboard is an Asus F1A75-I Deluxe the only other reference to usb on the board is a 20 pin usb connector to add more usbs to the rear of a case.
Is there any workaround for this or can i indeed use the 20 pin usb connector to solve my problem?
Thanks
 
Im going to rescan my manual but as far as i can see i only have the 1 header im quite sure of it as i spent a couple of hours scratching my head last night!
 
The ony other usb i've got on the mobo is the 20-1 usb 3.0 blue connection i was hoping i could get an adaptor for this to give me more headers.
The problem isnt lack of usb's but lack of usb headers to connect the front ports of the case.
 
I'm really sorry if im being thick here but i dont want to add a rear bracket i just want to connect the front usb of my case (black 4pin ) connections to the mobo.
At the moment this is not possible as the solitary usb header on the mobo has the infra red receiver attatched to it.
Are you telling me i can somehow attatch these to the 20 pin connecttor in the diagram above without anything getting damaged?
