Getting read to pull the trigger on this new build using this Asus mobo, but I have two potential issues here to resolve.
First, the case it's going in (In Win 904plus) has 4 USB 3.0 ports on the front panel (actually side), and I understand mobos that support more than 2 ports are more rare. Below is what the newegg spec page says for this mobo. Can someone confirm I'll be able to hook up all four front USB with this one?
It says
Internal I/O connectors:
2 x USB 3.0/2.0 connectors support additional 4 USB ports (19-pin)
2 x USB 2.0/1/1 connectors support additional 4 USB ports
That means each of those X2's likely supports 2 additional USB 2.0/3.0 ports, and this is what I'd run to the front panel on my In Win 904plus, right?
Second quick question: some of the reviews I've read say connecting the I/O panel cables on this In Win 904plus are super tight, and to alleviate this get a mobo where those ports are close to the front-facing edge of the mobo and towards the bottom. I can't find a length for that cable anywhere, but I'm hoping someone here can look at the image and tell me if--at the very least--I'm going to have more trouble than with another one.
