Hi,

I did the Oculus compatibility check and says that my USB ports are not compatible, says it doesn't meet the USB 3.0 requirement..my motherboard is a GA-Z68AP-D3 and it has USB 3.0 ports..

What do I do now? Is the compatibility checker wrong??

Can always buy a USB3.0 PCI-e expansion card if it does turn out to be correct.

Some boards don't have the bandwidth to max out all the usb 3.0 slots so the oculus software grumbles or you get glitching. As said, a usb pci-e card will help. I needed one for the extra sensors.

Check what USB 3.0 controllers you have, my Z77 Asrock Extreme 6 mobo has 2 different controllers, Etron and Intel.
When i ran the test it was detecting the controller it doesn't like and said it wouldnt work but after some research i found i had to use specific ports that are controlled by the Intel controller (I think its the Intel ones anyway).

What mobo do you have?

A look online suggests the Etron is only for 2 of them and the rest are using the chipset sp probably fine. My old CV1 works on an old USB2 only system fine.

I have a Gigabyte GA-Z77-ds3h with 2 USB 3 ports and my Rift CV1 worked mostly fine. Only issues I had were with sound breaking up after a few minutes of play. I bought an Inateck KT5001 PCIe card and it solved all the issues.
