Just have a quick( probably really stupid) question....

[Obi-Juan]

Hello, I'm currently planning my first Proper PC and have been using PC part picker to just lay out my planned build. Using the system builder, in the 'compatibility notes' section it states that the motherboard I put in (Asus STRIX z270f) doesn't have onboard USB 3.0 headers but the case I would like to use(NZXT h440) has front panel USB 3.0 headers. My question is where do I even look to see if a motherboard has these headers? I did mess around with the system builder and when putting in the Asus STRIX z270e it gave no such note so my assumption is that it probably does but i would still like to know what i should be looking for in the future. 

 

Thank You!

In general details of this sort can be found on the manufacturer's web page for the motherboard. Generally in the Specifications section.

 

The pcpartpicker note is wrong with respect to the Asus Strix Z270F. The Z270F has two USB 3.0 headers providing support for a total of four USB 3.0 ports. The Z270E has a single 3.0 header providing support for two USB 3.0 ports. On Asus product specification pages both the USB Ports and Internal I/O Ports sections supply this information. The later tends to be clearer. See https://www.asus.com/nz/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-H270F-GAMING/specifications/
