One USB 3.0 port works

Just plugged this into my two USB 3.0 ports on the front of my computer case (which I have previously used for mobile USB 2.0 ports so I know they work) and now it works expected only one more USB 3.0 port, but then again there is ONLY power, there is no data. I was half expecting this as the USB 3.1 ports appear to only be used as one USB 3.1 Type-C port, not two. Just don't expect to need working USB 3.0 ports when you connect ASUS ROG MAXIMUS IX HERO to a 20-pin USB 3.0 port.

Pros

USB 3.1 requires a different front panel connector than USB 3.0. The USB 3.1 connector interface uses a USB 3.0 pin set and more. This is a backward compatible design (explained later).
