Question: how can I even know if it'll work with my motherboard? what should I check?
Document: Motherboard would not even recognize it. Cd could not detect hardware. Replaced an old WD card due to not having front panel 20pin connector. This one had 20pin and power and looked perfect on paper. But, pc would not recognize the card, driver install cd would not recognize the card.The other big issue it's a VIA chip!! I don't like it. So for those who know and prefer the renesas/nec chip this board does not have.I'm returning it as I can't even use it.
I didn't even know they did this until I saw a package in my mailbox. I am changing my rating to 5 stars to show that not only does this product work but how amazing their customer service people are!
Doesn't work. Don't know if it's my Mobo configuration or Mobo, or the CCA. Eitherway my system does not even see this card. Can't even load drivers, 'cause the system does not see the card. Should not be an issue but it is so it gets a so so rating. ***** Update **** Decided to give this CCA another chance now that I have my system up 100%. Still the same.
Arrived quickly, well packaged, I will buy more for other builds. Yes I would recommend it to my friends.Since I work in the electronics industry I know these things happen. Gave them 5 stars even though two of the USB did not function, contacted the manufacture and reached a CSR in less than a minute. Pretty straight forward product so no reason to trouble shoot it. CSR apologized for the issue, immediately sent out another unit.
I installed it, and had to use the drivers on the disk, but it seems to be doing okay. It DID give an error about using too much electricity so we will see if it is compatible with my rather new Dell XPS. I'll add to this review if I find problems. You know how Amazon is. They bug you for a review before you have had a chance to totally check it out!
check run in compatibility mode for (Windows XP service pack 3), also check (Run as Administrator). Select apply, and ok. Then double click on the Settup.exe, and install drivers, when it comes up with a white box with (VIA XHCI Host Controler Driver V1.8B) be shur to check the small box beside it. Click next, and continue installng and keep your mouse moving on the screen or it tends to freeze (I don't know why but it does).
Bought this because I bought a new computer case that has two 3.0 USB ports in the front and my motherboard did not support USB 3.0 and have a 19 pin header. Plugged this in and put in the driver CD (it installed for me so I don't know why it didn't work for others) and everything works, my front 3.0 USB's work and plugged in an external hard drive in the back and works perfectly.
I had purchased a PC from that had USB3 ports built into the front of the case. The company I bought the PC didn't tell me that the ports did not function as there were no additonal USB connections on the motherboard. Don't know why you would advertise &#34;front USB3 ports&#34; when they don't really work, but that's another story.Anyhoo - the Uspeed card provided the perfect solution as I was able to connect the front USB ports to the connection provided on this card.
It's a JOKE!&#34; Apparently either no one said that when this was being developed, or they were dismissed because &#34;Hey, we all KNOW it's a joke, but it'll be CHEAP! So we'll sell a million of them!&#34; Yep, this is a classic example of &#34;You get what you paid for,&#34; and after fighting with this thing, I wouldn't touch one of these even if they paid me...
It was a little tough getting the board seated, but that could be my motherboard. Otherwise, easy to install on XP, seems to work fine. I worried I might be over my power capacity (only have a 300 watt supply) but no noticable problems. Haven't done any speed tests, so can't address that, if it's even a possible issue.
Answer: If you have an open PCI-E slot, a spare power supply lead (like you would use for a disk drive), and you can fit the PCI-E card in your case, odds are great that this will work for you.
