Title: Z97X Gaming 7 suitable for NZXT Media Card Reader?
Post by: alistairgd on July 12, 2014, 08:29:17 pm
Would the Z97X Gaming 7 support the NZXT Media Card Reader extra USB ports?

(http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/61.jpg)

The NZXT Phantom 530 cse has 2 USB 3.0 on the front panel, which are connected to the USB header on the Z97X mobo already.

If I add this card reader, where would I plug in the USB cable we can see in that image?

Thanks.

You only have one usb3 plug in on that board so you get to choose which you want plugged into it.

Okay, thanks, I was hoping there was a solution to have both working, guess not.

I solved this one. I took the card reader out of my antec900 case and found that it fitted into my phantom case just fine. The bonus is that it has a single USB port plus card reader slots but in,only  uses a single internal USB slot on the mobio, result!
