First post, hi guys (and girls).

I'm trying to find a (AM3+) motherboard that can boot from Usb3 port (at usb3 speeds).
(booting from usb3 pen-drive or usb3 1TB hd)

I've searched online but have yet to pin down a definite answer.

I've even downloaded manuals for several mobos to read through to find out it wasn't possible with that mobo.

So, can anyone here give me a heads up, or definite answer?

It's got to be AM3+ and USB3 bootable, able to use 16Gb (preferably 32) and have at least 4 sata3/6 slots, I only use a single gfx card, so other specs aren't overly important. Preferably not too dear <£100, though willing to pay more if needed.
(I've got a AMD FX-8350 4GHz and 4x8GB Ram modules)

Many thanks for any help given.
 
All motherboard are bootable through USB 3.0 ports its just that when you boot into the operating system you need USB3.0 drivers. The Windows 8 installer has generic USB3.0 drivers from what I know but Windows 7 doesnt.

I don't think that's right, I'd already got a ASUS M5A97, and that's not bootable through USB3 ports, even in manual, it says 'only storage'

I'm also using WinXP, Win7, and several Linux distros

Well I never, I stand corrected, most Intel boards do USB booting.... should have checked AMD :)

I apologise :)

No worries, that's why I'm here - for help and information, trying to find by searching hasn't narrowed search as any mobo that has usb3 gets included in results, but I'm still hopeful somebody here either has or knows of an AM3+ mobo that can do it.
