As in, a keyboard with a 1-port hub on it?

My Razer BlackWidow Ultimate has a USB port on it, if that helps.

Also the Corsair K60, K90 and K95. And the original Apple keyboards.

Well its take a lot of time, saving / working for money, and organizing the sale of my old comp--- finally its paid off!

CPU arrived and I have everything ready to build! Wish me luck. :3

Sorry the photo quality is meh, I've lost my iPod and only have a webcam for now.

How much did this all cost?

[lcyGamma]

This cost me about $1300 NZD, but convert it to USD and remove the extra costs we pay here (retailers charge more due to shipping, different market, etc) and I calculated you could buy it on Newegg for around $800 USD or so about a month back.

Mmkay, so I'm having two problems with my computer:

1. USB 3.0 ports aren't working. It makes the ding sound when I plug something in but nothing shows up.

2. My computer says that I need drivers for my SM Bus Controller. What is that?

[Mr.jacksaunt]

Friend's computer broke, he needs a new one for low end gaming.

Would this be good? He's on a mega budget.

Sadly, I'm stuck on a mac, which means no good games... so I've been searching

Will I be able to run BF3 on high with this with decent FPS?

EDIT: What? It's discontinued? stuff....

Could anyone help me find some information about the CPU backplate that comes pre-attached to the Asrock 970 Extreme3 motherboard? I'd like to know what coolers it's actually compatible with and, if I need to, how to remove it

Still need some assistance on this.
I can't find anything on Google, but I need to know either how strong it is or how easy it is to replace as I will be getting a new cooler sometime in June, probably an Antec Kuhler 620 because heatsinks don't look particularly fantastic in my case

You need the drivers for 3.0 USB ports. I have a laptop and had the same problem.

Note: Not sure which one is the one that doesn't work so I've uploaded both for you.
I think it's the FLUSB3.0 one that works but check both of them.

What? Every mobo of one type of socket has the same backplate, and if a cooler doesn't use stock backplate it will come with the one it needs.

Yeah. More than good enough for low-end gaming.

Is this worth the extra $50?
