    Does anybody know were on a asus p4p800 se motherboard can I plug extra usbs. What should I be looking for? My computer case has frontside usb ports. The usbs for the case have 4 pins and I do not see anywhere on the motherboard were this can plug into. The only thing that I see on the motherboard are a row of pins that are next to the pci slots. There are 5 pins on top and 4 underneath. Could this be it. It says usb 5-6 next to it. Please help if you can. Thank You

    From the asus site: " 2 x USB 2.0 connector supports additional 4 USB 2.0 ports"

    Your mobo can support an extra 4 usb ports, The pin header you described sound like usb headers. The 5-4 pinheader can support TWO usb plugs (so there should be anotheroen somewhere on the board!)

    The double usb plugs which fit onto these are 2 x 6, with one 'hole' filled in so you cant get it the wrong way around! (Referd to as key on the diagram) "NC "stands for NO CONNECTION, its just a dummy so you cant get it the wrong way :p

    You can plug you 4 wire plug onto these double pinheaders, Just make sure that the postive wire (should be red) is attached to the "USB +5V" pin.
