Re: USB connector problem

You are not going to be able to use the front usb ports as they are wired, there are several ways the cases front usb wires are sold. Your motherboard needs the wires for each port separated into two flat 4 wire connectors so each one can be turned around to match the VCC (red wire) to the #1 and #10 positive pins. A single connector usually has both positive wires at the same end and if attached will cause a short and burn a hole in your motherboard(it has happened to me). Mike
