For some reason, on my PC, one of the front USB 3.0 ports just don't work. I swear I connected the USB 3 connector to the port on my mobo, but it doesn't work at all. It doesn't even give power to devices I plug into it. I'm using a Fractal Design Node 804, A Gigabyte B85M-D3H Micro ATX board, and an EVGA 750W power supply

Make sure it's in there properly and that it's not in the wrong direction. Make sure to also check your USB drivers just in case. If none of those fix the problem then the cable might be defective and the best choice would be to send it back in for a replacement.

I just said I got a warranty replacement from Fractal. I'm still using the Intel eXtensible USB 3.0 controller driver that comes with Windows 10.
