Will I be able to plug in the 20 pin usb3 connector to my ASUS M5A97 R2.0 mobo? I'm pretty sure the 20 pin on the mobo is for the PSU

Next to the motherboard's 24 pin ATX header is the USB3.0 internal header required for this case.

Yes the connector for usb 3.0 is a very different 20 pin connector from the psu power cable. Your mobo has a dedicated connector in its spec for USB 3.0 that will work just fine.

You probably need that goofy 9-pin to 5-pin adapter cable. I'd read this thread: http://forums.legitreviews.com/about45763.html It's probably going to be frustrating to obtain. Try asus replacement parts or what's mentioned in that article. Good luck!

If you don't see a 4 pin connector you most likely have an 8 pin connector divided into two 4 pin connectors. Use that instead. Your psu has to have a 4 pin or 8 pin motherboard connector though

Nope. It comes w/2 front-mounted USB 2.0 ports. If your motherboard supports 3.0, then of course you'd have 3.0 in the rear.

i would say that would be a no from my understanding on how this is built...don't own it yet but i don't see how they could design it that way (different adapters and this is only one slot) Check out something called bytetec or whatever on newegg. It has Two different IDE if i remember. Not if you get it it has some funky order of operation to work. Like plug in driver than power than usb or driver usb power or something weird.

Is compatible with any motherboard, because it has a 20+4 pin for the main power to the motherboard.

Hi Ken, mine came with a black braided power connector. 1) Match-up the white end of the cable to the white slot at the end of the unit; 2) Connect the 4-pin molex end of the same braided cable to a molex connector from your PSU [power supply]; 3) Now connect the braided USB 2.0 cable to the device and your motherboard. Power up your system and you're good to go...you can also daisy chain them...I'd be lost without the 2 I have.Hope this helped.~Programming Kat

I don't think it's a good idea. While the sockets are the same, the core count is higher in the RM series. If the pin outs are the same, you might only be using one core in the RM series, and what's the point of that? Have you asked AMD support?

You will need a +5 volt suply on the third pin of the adapter. I took mine from an unused usb header on my mb. I used a two pin connector from an old fan lying around to connect to the usb header. Double check what you're doing and make sure to put 5 volts to the correct pin of the adapter.

I don't think the device connected to it matters. What matters is, "does it work with your present motherboard and BIOS (and OS)?" And since more modern motherboards already have USB 3.0 ports, the question is, "is it really necessary?" If your motherboard already has USB 3.0 ports, I suggest this product - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008ZGKWQI/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=T9RSQEJXT8LI&coliid=I2HVGG7I77KZIS If you need it on a motherboard that doesn't currently have USB 3.0 ports, then test carefully. I know that this device did *not* work correctly for the motherboard/BIOS I had, and it was circa. 2006-2008, just before USB 3.0's time. It did have USB 2.0 ports on board. Good Luck.

You should refer to the ASUS website support section for that answer. You will need to know the model and version number for your mobo.

Yes it will work in Asus m5a99fx pro 2.0 with no problem. With the lower profile if will also give you more room

I know for fact it works on Asus M5a97 motherboard. This RAM is a common model. I would strongly suggest you check the motherboard manufacturer's web site and see their memory compatibility list as each manufacturer has a slightly different list. I don't think you have any problem w this RAM but don't do what I did and get RAM that was not on the list only to have to return it. I use this exact RAM in my Asus motherboard and over clock it to 1500MHz no problems. Hope this helps.

That I do not know, this power supply has a 20+4 pin power + extra 8 pin power plug that newer motherboards use. I imagine as long as your board uses both these plus you should be fine.

We'll make sure in your mother board the pins where that USB 3.0 goes are not bent or anything. Other than that I'm not sure what could those issues. Total guess in maybe a short in the 3.0 USB. I can understand that you want those working but I believe even after I loaded all my drivers/chipsets n at those USB "kinda" work for me. Not always recognizing the USB 3.0 I plug into it. I always use the 3.0 I have built into my motherboard. Also thermaltake customer support can help sometimes. you can proceed with your build and don't let that 2x USB 3.0 bother you. Get to gaming!

I get mine tomorrow. I have the cable , it came with my Corsair 900D, and Corsair as well as Amazon also sell it. If you read all the reviews one said he could not boot and Asus tech support told him he needed the 4 pin cable as well.

OK I see there are 2 USB headers on my motherboard. Do I have to ground any wires or anything?
