    Dumb Question - 3XS Vengeance Z68 OC

    Just got my system and it is fantastic but I have one really stupid question that will probably make me look like a twit...

    What on earth is that short cable coming out of the back with a Male USB connector on it?!? It was just hanging loose and is only about 8 inches long from where it comes out the back so I can't for the life of me work out what it is for?!?!

    Could it be a USB3 pass-through for the case?

    They come off the front panel like this: http://www.xtremecomputing.co.uk/ima...n_rider_13.jpg

    You plug them into the USB3 port on the back and it passes it through to the USB3 port on the front panel.

    Hi

    It is indeed a USB3 pass through cable for the front USB3 ports
