Solve : PLEASE HELP! What is the purpose of these cables? |
|
Answer» Does anybody know the purpose of these HIGH speed usb 3.0 MALE cables comin out the back of my computer. I can't really tell what they are connected too. Potentially the motherboard? I'm running Maximus hero vii, Intel i7 4790k, GeForce gtx 980. I've attached a picture for reference. Awesome thanks. So they plug just straight into any usb 3.0 in the back to activate the 3.0 in the front. Gotcha. Is that all they serve? And is there a preferred slot they should be in.Yeah, just STICK it in any of them.

No it doesn't, they plug into a standard USB port... My bad. You are right. A close look shows they are standard USB connectors. Quote They will connect to the front USB 3.0 ports on your case, connect them to a pair of your rear USB ports for them to work. Strange case setup.... basically a USB extension to the Front Panel USB instead of plugged directly to the motherboard as most front panel USB ports are. These cables reminded me of my one friend that installed 2 extra external 1TB HDD's laying inside his tower and then had them passing out the rear slot and to the rear USB connection on the motherboard because he wanted them protected from getting bumped etc...LOL He even had them secured on the bottom of his case with the stick on velcro to keep them secure to the case. If they are connected inside to the MBoard the LAST thing he'd wanna do is hook them up to the front ports...just sayin... |
