I have same board. Also bought an extension cable. Have not tested the extension cable yet to see if it works.

Shame that intel puts the USB 3 headers on bottom of motherboard and sends a short cable. When i pay so much for a motherboard that cant even boot Windows using UEFI boot mode, i am atleast expecting the accessories to be good. But i am forced to spend more cash and buy an extension cable. I understand why there is so little people buying Intel motherboards. I wish Intel will get better in the future because they have great motherboards.

I purchased a 20-pin motherboard extension cable from Cablesonline.com (item #280801382782). I bought mine off their ebay store for $14.00 because it was cheaper than at there on line store.

I purchased the above mentioned desktop board, and have installed it in a Thermaltek GT-10 case. My problem is the cable for the USB3 front panel is too short. Is there some type of extender cable I can buy to be able to plug the front panel ports into the motherboard?
