[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8781510, member: 591582"] I think you're right on the cable size. I think one set of the USB's plugs into the main plug with the rest of the case electronics, then one set of them has plugs into it's own USB plug on the board. It's still funky; they act like their tied together in a weird way, but that's why I think it's a MB problem. Literally not turning my wireless mouse on before I turn on my monitor can crash my GPU or cause issues while using. If I turn on my PC and forget about my mouse, I immediately just restart to avoid the problems. It's so weird. I have plenty of USB's on board, high quality USB connections, it's just that it would be super nice if the front ones weren't so janky... It's all working now, but it bugs me. It's hard to accept this a real issue, and it's easy to forget about in the moment. I will tell people, big SSD's get hot. Don't expect to do big jobs on an external SSD in a hot environment. This SSD gets hot just like the ones in your computer do, and it doesn't have any fans cooling it. I run my big external drives on top of my computer, where my top fans blow air on them all of the time. I bet so many people get screwed by overheating these big SSD's and not knowing how to avoid that. [/QUOTE]
