I have a motherboard zebh61m2. This one do not have usb3 and only usb2 port is present. But I found a 19pin header with label "f_usb_3.0" on the motherboard, so in hope of it support usb3 I purchased a usb3 connector from amazon. After connecting this usb port i purchased to the 19pin header, system considering it also as usb2.
can anyone help me on why this is not working? I will attach some pictures of my system and things i see.
Intel® 6 series chipset boards
Huron River (for Mobile platforms) and Sugar Bay (for Desktop platforms) use third-party USB 3.0 controller and Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 driver.Source: Intel
Generally, the chipset supports USB 3.0.
But: As being a separate third party chip, you cannot be sure the USB 3.0 chip is present on your board. — They like to save some money and preserve "features" for more expensive boards.
In case of your motherboard supporting USB 3.0 I would expect that your board has at least one USB 3.0 slot (typically marked with a blue inlay).
The 19 pin connector you found is designated for the front panel (Note the last letter D vs. 6):
Intel 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family ...
# Front panel:
... USB Enhanced Host Controller 1C26
# Rear side:
... USB Enhanced Host Controller 1C2D
So if you search, you might find a spare square mark for a chip that would have been your USB 3.0 support.
If you want to be sure, you might try a driver update and use
Intel's support utility (DSA).
I think you will send back the new USB plate.
