So i just got a USB 3.1 card with Type C and the front panel 20 pin header works fine, reading my usb sticks no problem. But the main rear ports (1 USB 3.1, 1 USB Type-C) are completely inactive. the Controller in device manager shows as: "Renesas USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller 1.0 (Microsoft)" It came with drivers on a stick that i tried but i think they have given me a load of drivers for all the products that factory makes, tried to install them all to see which one would work and one did, but made no difference (win 10 should support the card without divers natively anyway. This is the card i got: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351606095675?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT Any help would be great.
yes, sata power is connected. Iv also gone though about 5 different drivers that relate to Renesas USB.
Disconnect the FP header... See if the on-card ports work... it could be an either/or type affair... That or it's just ebay cheap ****...
just tried, no luck. Iv messaged the seller, porbs get my money back. Might put this down to unbranded junk. Really want black PCB, but might give this a go http://www.amazon.co.uk/Inateck-Exp...F8&qid=1454111383&sr=8-8&keywords=pci-e+usb+3 Gettings good reviews.
You might have similar problems with the Inateck card as well. It's all coming back to me but I seem to recall I had a lot of problems installing mine and they used Fresco Logic drivers irrespective of the brand name. I have 3 different cards one of which will only give USB 2 speeds on my Socket 1366 system and none of them will install on a Socket 775 system. I seem to recall the installation involved a lot of swearing and rebooting and reinstalling as the installation reports a fail numerous times until they magically install. I think, although not 100% sure now, that I got my drivers from here (right hand side of the page).
found this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00HR0VWJY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 Ordered it, see how it goes. I got 266MB/ps on my USB stick with the card that half works using the front panel ports, so id say thats well within respectable USB 3.0 speeds. the drivers for this card do install no problem, and everything is recognized with no errors, just the two rear ports are completely inactive with no indication as to why.
The problem might (might) be with your motherboard driver for your usb3. I had to reinstall my usb3 drive on two gigabyte motherboards. All my usb2 were working, but not my usb3. I put my motherboard disk back in and opted for "install individual items" Found the usb3 driver and installed it,and both my usb3 ports worked
