No Motherboard port for front USB

[TokeR]

I have never really cared about this before but I decided I should see if there is something that can be done about it.

I have a Corsair 800D which has 4 Front Panel USB ports, but I only have one USB header on my motherboard (Rampage III Extreme) is there anything out there like a splitter or something so I can optimize all 4 ports rather than just the two?

Depending on the price of the Black Edition which Linus recently un-boxed. I might see if I can sell my R3E and put the money I get from that towards a black edition R3E I need the inbuilt wireless as I cant use LAN any more because of where I am located so that would be helpful and it has multiple USB 2 ports (I think) But I do know it has a USB 3 header & at least one USB 2 header so with the corsair 800D USB 3 mod that would work out well.

I will have to wait and see what pricing is like for the Black Edition, but until then how much could I get for a used Rampage III Extreme with all the stuff that came in the box + the box in perfect condition?

Thanks!

You should have far more than one usb header

Not true.

Unfortunately some boards do only come with one usb port and its odd.

I have a 1155 MSI board and I can only use 1 USB header for the 4 ports on a 600T case

I could be missing it, but I have checked pretty thoroughly. I almost 'thought' I found one but it was a firewire header. fortunately I read.. probably on this forum that plugging a USB into the firewire header can be quite problematic.

well they just hit mem ex.
kinda pricey imo for a black paintjob

My mistaken assumption, I had the R2E and figured the newer version would have at least as many headers. Kinda funny for a pretty high-end board.

Wow, that's stupid... My $280 GA-X58A-UD5 has 3 USB headers, one being the on/off charge.

WTH makes that black edition worth $600????

[TokeR]

Wow $600 I should have thought so I am not going to pay $300 for such a small upgrade and a paint job. I will just stick with the original and live without the USB ports.

Thanks for your help guys, now to make a new post about my new problem.. :(.
