USB headers
USB headers
I have the new 780G Micro ATX MOBO ( RMAed the other one) it has 4 USB headers that are 10 pin headers. My case has two side mounted USB ports that look to be 4 or 5 pin. The headers are intended for a USB bracket you can buy from GIGABYTE . Is there an adaptor I can get to allow me to hook up the case ports to this MOBO or can they be hooked up as is in some way? The manual says that each header will support two ports for a total of 8 additional USB ports

Re: USB headers
you are full of questions today 
you do not need an adapter. There should be one row of 5 pins and one row of 4 pins in those connector slots - that single fifth one is for the extra ground wire that should be on your case connectors. if all of your wires are seperate, just look at the notherboard guide on which pin should go where. I nmever put more than one connector like this in each slot since I like to use the extra ground
VOC -> USB1- -> USB1+ -> GND -> GND
that is how mine line up

Re: USB headers
Starting on pin number one, it's usually
Red, White, Blue, Black
or
Red, Yellow, Green, Black
or
Red, White, Green, Black
If you have a fifth black it's the extra ground and goes on the remaining pin. If you have some different color wires post up, I've pinned about all the combinations so many times that now I stab all 4 or 5 at once.
