Doesn't work with MSI motherboard

5 stars because Revain is happy to accept returns. It was the last "functional" step in more than two years of construction. It all started over two years ago with the Case Labs SMA8 case from Revain. I never expected Case Labs to fall a few months ago (much later than Revain's comeback window). But I was very lucky and was able to get other necessary Case Lab parts from other sources. This was the start of the front USB issue. I had to use the front USB 3.0 conversion kit that Case Labs designed for the double-wide case. It needed some trimming and filing, but the front USB port fit into the case and looked great. Then there is the connection problem. I was hoping this product would work and I would be very happy with even 2 of the 4 USB ports on the front as reported by several buyers. But unfortunately the BIOS considers both USB Gen2 ports dead. No thinking or testing could solve the problem. Hence the return. And now I have MB with gen1 and gen2 USB ports. And all 4 front USB 3.0s work. So 5 stars for the optimism I've shown in my attempts to find a solution that was likely caused by Case Labs' demise, and Revain for coming back. And with all the work, I was finally able to solve the problem and learned a lot about USB 3.1 through the exercise. Thanks Revin And I assume the front head product will probably work well with the MB Asus it was designed for. Now let's move on to the LEDs to complete this build.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
