MSI P67A-GD55... Front USB?

[PSPatrick2]

My MSI P67 board seems to only support ONE front USB port?

I have a Fractal Design R3 case with two front USB ports and also a card reader.
I plugged in the card reader to the JUSB1 slot (red), but can't seem to find a spot for my case's USB plug.

Here's a pic of the board. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Just did some reading on that board, and it appears it has 2 JUSB ports, 1 is for USB 2.0, and the other is for USB 3.0.

It looks like you might be out of luck

This would work for you.

Hey guys, I bought this:

But it's a single row 5-pin adapter that looks like:

And I'm trying to plug it into the front USB lead that's a 9-pin that looks like:

They don't seem to want to fit together. Any advice?

How are you trying to connect those all together?

Are you trying to go from a USB port to the Front USB with that?

You have to plug the 5 pin male side into the 5 pin female side.

Front panel USB to a rear USB port on the motherboard.

I'm trying to get the front USB to work by plugging its case header to a rear port.

OK, thats what I thought.

So have you tried my suggestion of plugging the 5 pin male into this part.

I can't recall which way to plug it in. But if it doesn't work one way, unplug it, and plug it in the otherway.

You shouldn't need to shut down to do this either, seeing as how you are just adding it like a hub.

Let us know.

Well I got around to plugging it in, and in the system tray it said that Windows was installing drivers for a "Generic USB hub."

Although when I plug in a device, nothing happens.

Here's what shows up in device manager:

Any other opinions?

same boat you are in with my MSI,

I bought http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...8&cm_re=pci_usb_header-_-15-201-008-_-Product and it worked perfectly.

Well it turns out those devices in the device manager were USB3.0 hubs, so actually the computer doesn't recognize my front USB at all.

I tried plugging in those cables together both ways, but the pins won't go all the way in?
