USB 3.0

Sup Romulation Community,
I am purchasing a USB 3.0 case (HAF X). I don't have a 3.0 motherboard, but I was wondering if I could still plug the 3.0 ports into the 2.0 on the motherboard and just use the 3.0 at slower speeds.
Thanks,
Gameace

Yes. You will have it at 2.0 speed, though.As a side question, is 3.0 already out?

I know all the new cases have it, and i think the new mobos too. Thanks

Replying to #3

and, i'm going to get a motherboard with 3.0 ::)

AFAIK it doesnt matter what the case ports are rated for, they're all the same. What matters is what the motherboard chipset is. If the chipset is only USB 2.0 then you'll only have USB 2.0.

Yeah, it was announced and it is released

jus to clarify, I got the case and it came with an adapter from the USB 3.0 internal cable to 2.0.
