Hi all, I have the following issue with USB with my PC and was after some possible solutions.
We have just had building works completed and a new study was made. Just for background information the computer is located 10m from my new desk and sitting position (Its just how it is with the room/size/location available).
My intention is to use the pc in the following way:
Run a 10m usb 2.0 extension lead from back of pc, in & around the trunking and into a usb 2.0 module which fits in the trunking and into which I would plug my usb keyboard and/or a usb hub.
In similar fashion above, run a USB 3.0 cable in the same way to a usb 3.0 module into which I will plug the lead from my Dell monitor to enable the built in usb 3.0 hub.
I purchased two 10m extension ***elsewhere***, both with repeaters built into them. Both leads have good reviews etc.
So yesterday, before putting the final trunking covers back on I thought id test everything to make sure it works.
Keyboard not responding at all from the module but working fine when plugged into computer 10m away. USB 3.0 not responding too.
Checked the voltages and both extensions reading 4.86v so i assume that this is the reason why there is no response.
This morning, just out of curiosity, I took both 10m extension leads and plugged them one at a time into the plug sockets usb charging slots, checked the voltage at the other end 10m away and sure enough both cables reading 5.06v.
So this leads me to believe, rightly or wrongly, that my Mobo is the issue?
I have an i7 2600k cpu with a gigabyte Z77x UP7 mobo, radeon hd 7950 gfx and a seasonic 1000w psu.
It was overclocked to 4.5 ghz @ 1.23v but I reset everything to defaults yesterday to start afresh.
I have 5 fans running @ abut 60%, 1 water pump, 2 ssds running on the computer.
Id be very grateful for some options from those of you a bit more knowledgeable about these things. The unit cannot really be moved closer to the desk because of the configuration of the room.
Thanks
