    USB 3 Help on Antec 302

    Hi All,

    I have had a good look over the forum and I am unable to find a post that refers to my problem so thought I would post my problem.

    I have just brought a Antec 302 case which I am loving so far. The problem I have is that my mobo doesn't support USB 3 d'oh. I was wondering if there is a way to convert the lead from the USB 3 header to the 9 pin connectors on my mobo. I have seen a lot of people on about using a PCIe expansion card as a work around but this isn't an option due to a stupidly sized gfx card with fan and my sound card.

    I have found a Corsair Carbide accessory box (unfortunately I can not post a link at this time) but i am looking for something available in the UK and something that I know will work.

    I am sure there must be something like this out there and other people in this boat with me, but its just a case of finding.

    Thanks for the read and in advance for any assistance.

    I think you may need something like this.

    Or possibly Atari.

    I don't have space I only have two the PICe ports that this card needs, one of which is covered up and cant access and the other is used by a sound card.

    This thread seem's dead but I will post anyway, this might help someone.
    I have been looking for a new case & I have decided on the 302 black. Whilst looking at reviews on this case it seem's an email to antec cs regarding this issue will see them send you a usb 2 to 3 adaptor for free.
    I'm not planning on buying this case until the new year, when I do buy it I will ask antec for one & report back.

    Just give us a e-mail at vip@antec.com or send me a private message if you need the adapter. We are more likely to send you one.

    Thanks
