USB3 Front Panel Help

jumeeno · 28 Apr 2012 at 12:01

My FD Define Mini has a USB3 front header straight to motherboard... but my motherboard does not have this feature (just 2 x USB3s on back panel).

Therefore, not sure how to get USB3 working on the front panel - any suggestions?

I believe you can't unfortunately.

It might be worth contacting the manufacturer and they might send some USB 2 connectors and kep the USB 3 when you upgrade later.

You can buy adapter cables that allow you to pass the cables out of the case and use the back panel USBs.

I'd have thought that OcUK would sell a suitable cable, but they don't appear to.
