Hello everyone, first-time post.
I have a system build by OC with a Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite MB and have recently bought an Oculus Quest 2.
I also bought a USB 3.2 cable to connect the two, but any of the USB ports I try to use seem only to work as USB 2 ones. This MB ought to have 4 USB 3 ports direct from the board istelf, but they still act seemingly as USB 2 ones as well.
I can make a weak connection this way, but cannot properly connect the two. A look in Device Manager shows no issues, but I can't find any port to connect to that shows as running as USB 3 speeds.
Any advice please?
 
Well I have a USB keyboard and mouse, but they are in USB 2 ports, also built into the MB, and I don't think they affect anything, do they?
 
Thanks, though I'm running Windows 10 since setting this build up. Not sure what internal or external headers refers to, but as far as I can see the MB ought to run it's native USB 3 ports as that, but I seem unable to get any response other than USB 2
 
Thank you Tetras! Turns out the chipset drivers was the issue. I had to have the MB replaced back in Lockdown 1 and hadn't realised until now they weren'd reinstalled during the process.
VR is full steam ahead, so thanks again!
