Questions & Answers

Is there a low-profile bracket included with this?

Mine did, but given the other response, I'm guessing it depends on who is packing the box that day in the factory.

Is it possible to use this as a motherboard header by connecting it to a USB 3.0 port? On the rear i/o panel, is there a 0 connector? USB 3.0 port There is no built-in header on the 0 motherboard. ?

This product is designed to allow you to access the USB 3.0 front panel of a case. There are no headers in this document. USB 3.0 port on the back panel Choose a PCIe card that is designed for that application if you have 0 port access. br>Sparkey1000 is a fictional character who appears in the video game Sparkey.

Is the item shipped from China with extra screws, a driver disk, and a bracket all squished together in an envelope (easily damaged during shipping to the buyer)?

Two extra screws were included with my unit. A 6x32 and an M3. They're supposed to put the card in the PC card cage and lock it in place. Which one you use is determined by your computer's hardware. A spare bracket was also included with my unit. a bracket that has a low profile To use the low profile bracket, remove the full height bracket and replace it in the same position with the low profile bracket using the same screws.

Is it possible to connect this to a PCI Express x4 slot?

Yes. It's a PCIe slot, to be precise.

It was effective, but it took some time to get going
3/5

My computer has an overclocked first-generation i7 processor, but the motherboard I'm using is so old that it doesn't have USB 3. 0. There are no headers in this document. I recently purchased a new case, and the lack of them has become an issue. I purchased this PCIE card in order to add two additional headers to my motherboard. Many of the options include USB ports as well as a single header. I needed two in particular because the case calls for it. br>br>I came up with this card as a solution. It comes with two USB 3. 0 ports. I only needed 0 headers, but that was all I needed. br>br>Unfortunately, I received a mixed bag of results. It was packaged in a generic anti-theft box. a static bag containing a miniature cd with a variety of drivers for various products, as well as a low-profile metal slot cover, presumably for use in smaller cases. Reading other reviews, however, it appears that the inclusion of the CD and alternate slot cover is hit or miss. Maybe they forget to put them in the box every now and then. br>br>It was a little difficult to get the card to work on my motherboard. I'd read another Amazon review that claimed the card wasn't always correctly detected. It was not detected by Windows the first, second, or third time I turned on my computer, so I did something you should never do: I installed it while the computer was turned on. Yeah. You can call me a moron. But it worked, and I haven't had any issues since. I wouldn't recommend doing this, and the fact that it was the only way I could get it to detect it is a major flaw in the product. br>br>Driver installation was also a minor annoyance. I struggled with the included CD to figure out which of the several dozen included drivers was the correct one after trying to install the drivers for it because the box provided no specific information about the card. It didn't automatically update because I'm still running Windows 7 on my computer. Thankfully, a review of Amazon's product listing provided the answer, but it would have taken a lot of trial and error if it hadn't been for it. br>br>Run the Setup program if you need to install from a disc. Choose PCI-V in the bat file. E USB 3. If there are no drivers, then NEC 720201/720202 is used. br>br>Bottom Line:br>I can't say I'd recommend this card, which I purchased because it required two USB 3. 0 ports. The price was right and there were no headers. It works, but it took far more effort to get there than it should have. I can't say I'd recommend it because of its flaws.

Not fully compliant with USB 3
3/5

0. I'm a 25- With over 300 white-box builds under my belt, I'm a seasoned IT professional with over a decade of experience. I have an older motherboard with a newer case and a modern front-panel display. My board does not have a connector for the panel connector. This card works in a "sort of" way. Depending on which device I connect, it either works perfectly or only occasionally, with frequent device disconnects and reconnects. My Corsair 32GB USB 3. 0 external hard drive 0 Flash Voyager is a fantastic program. I have a USB 3. 0 hub that I use outside the house. I have a USB 3. 0 card reader that I use for Micro SD cards, and it's unusably intermittent when connected to this card, but it works fine when connected to the motherboard's USB 3. 0 port. On the back, there is a score of 0 out of a possible 100. I also tried an HD webcam, and the results were the same. br>br>Because this card has two connectors, I tried the other one. It's very difficult to separate the card's connector. My initial attempt resulted in a pin-up girl. The card's cover had come off, but I was able to repair it. The second connector yielded the same results as the first. I tried to find out who made the card, but it's "made in China," so there's no way to find out. br>br>I'm going to throw it out the door.

Simply plug it in and go
5/5

It was recognized as soon as I plugged something into the USB ports leading to it, which I plugged into the PCIE slot above my GPU. In the end, I did download the drivers anyway. Other reviews mentioned not getting the driver disc, not getting the extra riser cover for the back of the case (for smaller ITX cases), and people saying the disk had multiple drivers for different products. br>br>It appears I was luckier than others, as other reviews mentioned not getting it recognized until installing the drivers or going crazy and installing it while the PC was running (don't do that), not getting the driver disc, not getting the extra riser cover for the back of the case (for smaller ITX cases Mine came with everything, but only two different product drivers were included on the disk. I'm not sure what the other one was, but it was clearly incorrect. The right one said it was a USB card, but it had two versions of the driver, so I just downloaded the more recent one. So far, there have been no issues. My DS4 controller is plugged into it 24/7 and it still works (except for the stupid DS4 remote hitting the cable and breaking the connection, but that's the controller's fault for using micro USB). br>br>So far as I can tell, it's still working after three months of plugging and unplugging it.

it works
5/5

Two USB 3. 0 ports were included in my PC case. There are no connectors in use. I'd never seen anything like this before, but my motherboard only had one USB 3 port. I had to improvise because there were none available, but it was a simple installation and now all of my case's USB ports are functional. There isn't much else to say at this point. It's simple and effective. Microsoft Windows 10 is the latest version of the operating system AMD X570 motherboard with a 3900x CPU and a RTX 2080ti GPU.

It really works
4/5

I could connect to USB 3 connectors, for example. br>Computer- Intel I-series processor, Windows 10 64-bit 3 3570K processors, 8 GB of RAM br>Dislike- there are no instructions on the box, and there isn't even a manufacturer's name. I had to restart the computer after it locked up the first time I turned it on. I had to install it in the PCI-E slot, which took a long time. At first, I tried installing it in the Ex1 slot, but it didn't show up in device manager. I removed and reinstalled it five times, but it still didn't show up in device manager, so I installed it in a PIC-based system. I tried it in the E 16 x1 slot and it worked, so I took it out and reinstalled it in the PCI-E slot. It worked in the E x1 slot. Although Windows 10 should not require a drive for this, I was able to locate one on the Intel website; it would have been nice to have the manufacturer's name and a real model number. It was only compatible with Windows 8 according to the box, but I found some information on the internet that said it would work with Windows 10. br>I need to buy another one for my wife's computer, and I'm considering looking around to see what else is available.
