December 12, 20196 yr Boy, Bob, my debt-list to you is growing and growing. With Xmas coming up, will have a real struggle😄 What can but say? A great big Thanks. Will need to check what the OS to buy is, £ Rick Almeida
December 14, 20196 yr Eureka! Finally got Windows 10 installed. NVidia drivers updated, etc, etc. Just one snag. I have a dire need to fit a card reader, an Akasa. However, I cannot find a single spare 4-in straight line USB header anywhere on the motherboard. Additionally, I need a USB port too. That I can take care of buying an internal USB ports on a PCI-e card, but not that 4-pin USB header. As I have only managed this new build thanks to the wizards here, hence I throw this out there again, for the final finish. Rick Almeida
December 14, 20196 yr 4-pin headers were used on the now long-obsolete USB1 ports...I haven't seen one of those on a motherboard for several generations now. The Maximus XI boards won't have them. Card readers are pretty cheap...I'd recommend you just get a USB 2 or 3 version that'll connect directly to one of the available 9 pin (USB2) or 19-pin (USB3) dual-port headers...or an external one that connects to one of the front/back panel USB sockets.

Thanks, Bob. Have spent the entire night researching that. Akasa have come out with a card reader that does exactly what you have advised, except the wholesaler I bought mine from, two days ago, is an obsolete model with that 4-pin header, and no one I have searched for, has that latest Akasa, so have dropped their sales people a line. I prefer front-mounted 5.25-bay card readers as I have a tendency with USB devices that when I put them down, can never find then again!😁 Rick Almeida
