Internal USB 3.0 splitter on RIVBE

[Jokrik]

Hi everyone,

I am currently using a RIVBE motherboard on a caselabs case where they have 4 usb 3.0 front port

The RIVBE only have one internal USB 3.0 connector;  than I came accross

Which let me split the internal USB to get all 4 of the front ports working, unfortunately it didnt work 

I tried tightening it and update the driver for it

 

can anyone shed some light ? has anyone ever use the same product?

Ofc it won't work. You should have checked the pin layout before: http://i.imgur.com/HtV2xKp.png

2 ports is the max.

Just get a 3.0 to 2.0 adapter and hook it up to the internal usb 2.0 header

[airdeano]

it didn't work, meaning none of the ports work or just two or one or three?

 

the connector onboard is an Intel USB hub so even if a 9-port hub was attached

it should work, unless the product is faulty.

Nah point is that the header on the board is wired for 2 ports only, same for 2.0 headers

 none of them work

 

I'll probably gonna buy the 3.0 to 2.0 adapter, it's just stupid to have a non working ports

you know it when you stick a usb and nothing came up on the screen and you have to move it to the other ports all the time

it's so sickening

I would probably get a PCI-e USB 3.0 card if you have the slot free. They're not horribly expenisve (20 USD or so) and then you can get USB 3 speeds out of it.

It's more about getting the included front panel usb 3.0 to work

I can only have 2 out of 4 working and it really bothers me I just couldn't stand that my dream pc doesn't get all the features working

How is that cable even supposed to work exactly?

I thought It can just split the use of the motherboard 20 pin 3.0 usb into two

my case has 4 front 3.0 ports with a female 20 pin cables for each two

Found a good deal http://www.banggood.com/Wholesale-USB-2_0-9Pin-9P-Housing-Male-TO-Motherboard-USB-3_0-20pin-Female-Cable-Adapter-p-63774.html

does it transfer at usb 3 speeds?

Nope , 2.0 speed

at least the ports become usable

Well your splitting 2 usb 3.0 ports even if that would have worked you could have only used two of the 4 at a time because that is all a header can do. But what I meant was you cant just splt USB which is why we have hubs. so it might not actually be meant for splitting usb 3.0 header.

yep also for some stuff you sill need a good old fashioned USB 2.0 port still so im kinda sad seeing them leaving or where you only get like 2 of them.

[Scheer]

It would be a clusterfuck... but here is one option to get all of them with 3.0 speeds (ish).

 

Two of these to plug into your case cables, then plug the (4) 9 pins into a 3.0 usb hub. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Port-USB-3-0-A-Male-to-Motherboard-20-Pin-Header-Data-Cable-Adapter-Cord-For-PC-/281017961911

 

Then get one of these, plug the hub into it, then plug it into the motherboard. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=CLfK2-fXmr4CFcpcMgod1lgAdA&Item=N82E16812400316&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-USB+Cables-_-N82E16812400316&ef_id=UoYvcAAAALvHRFua:20140507204835:s

 

This would share all 4 front ports over one USB 3.0 output of the motherboard. If you wanted to share 2 case ports over one motherboard port you would need two hubs, one plugged into each of the cable from newegg.

 

Let me know if that was too confusing and I'll MS paint up a diagram lol.

I know. You can get them that have an internal USB 3 header on them as well as the ports on the back.
