Mine said it was USB 3.0 and the case case I got has the plugs in the front for it, but when I got it in, the mobo spot did not have a socket for plugging up the case ports, and the mobo only has 2 USB 3.0 ports on the back of it. so I only have 2.0 availible on the front of the case.

If it blue screens with the memory set at 1333mhz at 9-9-9-24 you are going to have to re-seat your cpu.Don't know what it is with the 970 chipset but many people had the same problems.Mine did this with 4x4gb Gskill RipJaws X DDR3 1600 and after reseating the cpu Twice it took my timings and has been working flawless. I had a AMD Phenom 2 X4 965 3.4ghz OCed to 4.3ghz water cooled in it for a few months and upgraded to one of the AMD FX-8120 8 core cpus OCed to a modest 3.8ghz water cooled with a Corsiar H60 water cooler.The temps stay around 38-42 running 4 instances of prime95+. I'm not a big fan of the new Unified bios but it seems to do the job. Awards
