Do they plug in somewhere on the motherboard (P4P800 deluxe) or do I need a separate add-in card? I just took a squizz at your mobo manual. Look for the USB pins labelled USB_56 and USB_78 on your board - they are near the CMOS battery. You can plug your case USB cable in there. |

It is a jumper block but the manual says it is for factory use only. Cheers Miami |

I had seen those two connectors, but they have 9 pins and the cables have a block of 4 (labelled VCC, USB1+, USB1- and GND) as well as a single plug labelled GND. My guess is that the 4 pin plug would go across the top (pins 1 to 4) and the single plug on the GND pin at the bottom right. I'm just wary of making guesses with something like this. It's at times like this that you really appreciate PressF1 :D. Cheers Miami |
