The front usb connectors take up both headers

And you've got eight more on the back, so what's the problem?

Even the cheap boards have 3 or 4 usb headers, you work for the company or something...jeez
Not a big deal as I already said its just most all cheaper boards have more than 2.
What if I wanted a 3.5 card reader or wanted to install the bracket for more ports that came with the mobo, or had a 5.25 device that required a usb header, there are many things that use them.

You don't have two, you have FOUR.
Couldn't you just unplug one set from the front panel (which I'm guessing has 4 ports) and put the card reader- or whatever- in that?
Again- and I'm just curious- how many USB devices do you use at any one time?
And no, I don't work for that company.

I dont need em as I said twice its not a big deal you just think a $300 mobo would have more, my $60 board in my media center has 3 headers.

I think what clocker is saying is that you can put 2 USB devices on what is seemingly one header a UBS header plug only uses 4 pins so each The Specs do say
How many USB plugs are on the front of the case?Onboard USB Onboard USB 4 x USB 2.0
ya I know how may there are it only has 2 in the front but it has 2 dual plugs with wires going to both sides, must be so it can power external hdds better, have seen other cases like that.
That sounds plausible.
I have four ports up front and fortunately, my only external device has a split cord- it uses two USB ports instead of one + a power brick.

Ya I dont need em I was just suprised
Well everything seems to be running nice. I had the windows 7 64bit on it for a bit but couldnt find audio drivers for my mobo and a few programs wouldnt install, so decided to just go vista ultimate 64bit for now until window 7 is officially released. Havent done much with it so far encoding a bluray using megui now which uses every bit of cpu you have no matter what cpu it is. Been running at 100% all 4 cores for a little over 5 hours now and staying right at 50-55C the whole time, Idle was right at 29-32C so the cooler works pretty good. Here is a pic with some info on the temps and stuff.
