• USB 3.0 Header in Awkward position
    6 replies, posted
My USB 3.0 Header for the front panel is in an awkward position. At first when I plugged it in while building I was a little worried because the cable was going in at a slight angle, making the header bend away from the motherboard very slightly. This is due to the motherboard inset in the case coming back up quite close to the the header so that the end of the 'block' doesn't fit in the groove. I decided to leave it unplugged. After I installed the GPU, I realised it's in an even worse place as the header sits right in the middle of the PCI slot so the 'block' on the USB 3.0 connector looks like it's going to be nudging the GPU. My question: Is their any sort of extension for the header with a smaller block and more flexible cable that I can use to avoid these issues? Image: [t]http://puu.sh/cnBoc/a8d0a055b8.jpg[/t]

Cool thanks. Any idea how flexible that sleeve would be? If it's a thick rubber material that's not so flexible I'd probably go for the unsleeved.
Well all my parts are red and black anyway so the cables won't look too out of place. Thanks!
