2:17 - you're welcome
=)
Even if your channel was only tech build/reviews I would still stay, seriously it's gold.
Though I admit you being a hybrid game channel does make things a million times more convenient for everyone.
amazingly the issue you had with a HD60 and the dell only having USB 2.0 is the exact problem I have EXACTLY down to the same PC haha thanks man this really helped
I know I’m in the right place when I roll
up and he has the my same PC on his desk
EXTREMELY helpful video for the sole reason of the PC you used is the exact same model as mine
thx dude. i needed a usb 3.0 tp run a capture card and they were trying to tell me I needed a new motherboard. then i remembered I had expansion slots. you saved the day
I literally need this! Thank you so much for this video. Also I didn't know they mad extenders for USB cables. That makes it a lot easier!
I got the elgato hd60 s also and didn’t realize I needed a 3.0 thank god I found this video
Same
same here. how is it working? any kind of lag issue or is it smooth sailing
shaggyFL did u find out if it was laggy
Same
I've actually already done this with my computer already, but it's nice to see that your showing some people how to do it! :)
Thank you SpawnWave. I purchased a refurbished and upgraded 2011 office PC to serve as a modest but capable and affordable gaming rig, and soon came upon the lack of high speed input/output solutions for my Elgato HD 60 S capture card.
I searched on RUclips and instantly found your video, in which you were discussing this problem, WITH THE EXACT SAME MODEL COMPUTER I HAVE.
I purchased the part and made sure to use your affiliate link to make sure you got a cut.
I haven't installed anything like this since I put an internal dial up modem into my old IBM PS/2 system in the 90's, but it was a breeze, though in my case, I had to deliberately bend part of the metal outer panel on the PCI card to make it fit properly, before that I spend a long time worried I was doing something wrong, but once I realized it was just a few MM off I was able to make it work. Power took some effort to plug in but it worked with some finessing.
I installed using the included CD and the drives work!
Thank you!
I occasionally watched your gaming news coverage, but you really saved my bacon with this one.
I need one of these for my older desktop cause I have a USB 3.0 to VGA adapter for a 2nd monitor but on usb 2.0 its limited to 800x600
Exactly, so frustrating
Needed it for vr
Can SSD 2.5" Bootable from this PCIe card USN 3.0???
EXACTLY the info i was looking for....for far too long... appreciate the info G!
I learnt the hard way most of these USB 3.0 cards need additional power from the power supply. Not only did I have to get a power splitter I also needed a right angle molelex connector to make it all fit with the case closed.
Congrats for earning 40K subscribers, Jon! This particular video might not apply to me, since I've never really messed around with a computer before, but I still thought it was interesting and neat. :D
2:21 that rear fan looks badass
That cable management 😢
Really pleased my eyes
Those older cases don’t have good places to hide your cables
Yes
No need in “cable management” for this set up. It isn’t trying to look good whatsoever…. Moron.
Lmao you look like the chicken mascot from Al’s Toy Barn in toy story. Love your videos man😂💜💜
where did you get the extra sata cord from? mine doesnt have an extra sata port to connect to the molex.
I have a Dell Optiplex Mt i7. I just installed a Host Controller Card with 3x USB 3.0 and 1 USB-C. Its plugged into the pcie slot and connected to the sata power 15 pin. It has the driver installed via the CD it came with. It IS detected by the PC and says it IS working properly. BUT when I plug anything in to any of the ports, it will read for a second then stop... then read again then stop. Sometimes just read then stop and thats it. What do I do???? Thanks.
thank you so much this is exactly what we needed
ive a question about usb root hubs...my laptop only has one, meaning only one camera input at a time. i tried external hubs, powered extrernal hubs but it doent matter if its all running through a single root. ive tried checking the specs on desktop PCs to see how many there are but it doesnt seem to list them
What will fit a 1994 packard bell p.c. ?? wondering if i can mount it to the front, of the frame..
Perfect The exact computer i have
Its a really good computer and its great for modifying
Very well explained buddy, Thanks, im considering this card type of card for vhs capture.👍
Good stuff.I was looking for a video on USB3 for a USB2 PC.I have ordered the card now.
Despite about some negative comments on the video I find it interesting, also my potatoe masher only uses usb 2.0 and this will be great for me. Thank you.
Please help me. I'm trying to do this but only have a SATA port. I Fired all my usb ports not repairable. Please help me not sure it can be done, but hope it can.
I've got a problem. I ordered the 3.0 card and it didn't come with a disc. Where else can I get the drivers?
Congrats for the 40k subs!
My motherboard does not have PCIe x1 but only conventional PCI and PCIe x16. Is there USB 3.O card with slot that suitable with my mobo?
I'm curious, do all USB 3 PCIe cards need SATA power and data? I ask because I don't recall the same when I installed a USB 2 card in an old system yonks back. I thought the power and data were taken from the PCIe instead. Could be my bad memory of course.
I'm wanting to install USB 3 in an old server from 2012 which only has USB 2. But I don't have any spare SATA power connectors and only one SATA port on the MB which I'm using for an SSD. Any ideas?
I am having core 2 duo 2.8 ghz processor will it work on that ? Purchased system in year 2008 compaq Branded pc
Hi, is my motherboard (gigabyte GA-MA790GP) compatible with a PCIe USB3? I have tried connecting it to the PCIe x1 lane but it doesn't work, the motherboard can't display anything on the monitor. Or do have I to connect it to the PCIe x16 lane instead? Since it's the one that already a PCIe gen 2.0 type, thanks.
This vid is exactly what I was looking for same pc same problem luck is on my side thanks
the amazon link to the usb 3.0 ports are out of stock, is there any other usb 3.0 ports you would recommend me for the front panel instead of the back panel?
i already know how to do this as i have built my own PC, but i do like watching your videos so...
The front of my case has a cd slot filled with usb and sd card readers but the usb 3 cable can't plug into the motherboard cuz it has not usb 3 header :( i want use that so i have 3.0 in the front
I need to upgrade my USB 2.0 to a 3.0 but my PCI Express ports are x16. Can I still do it?
Any alrernative purchases? The link shows the item is currently unavailable and I have a dell optiplex 990
I have a Asus P8H61-M LE motherboard will this work on it or does my motherboard support usb 3.0?
Is it provides same buss power (900mA) like usb 3.0 gives ?
I'm late but I'm trying to hook up a kinect v2 to my amd build but I need Intel or renesas branded usb controller for it to work. Would using a branded card like this actually make these ports intel / renesas or would they count as AMD still? Cheers
Yes ty you just proved the guys i had build my computer told me extra usb ports coulndt be added to a computer you just proved they can
@ 4:51 do you think those speeds would be higher if your were coping from SSD to USB 3.0?
do we need usb 3.0 pendrive with usb 3.0 card for transfer from comp to pendrive
Yo Jon(SW) Quality tech video as always 👍.
can someone help? i got an lga 775 mobo and i put a core 2 quad q9550 in it with a gtx 960 and ddr2 4gb of ram.
the case lights turn on and everything turns on like normal but it cant recognise my usb keyboard or any usb devices at all. not a single usb port works on the motherboard or the case.
if i use this pcie usb can i connect my mouse, keyboard and speakers and get my pc to finally recognise the keyboard?
the desc. of the pcie usb says ur system needs to already be 3.0 capable, is this true? Need help reply please.
did you try the USB 3.0 expansion card yet?
This is perfect for me. I have the exact same PC shown here.
Thank you. I added an m2 into an external enclosure and realized my asus pc only had usb 2 ports so it was a major fail. So I’m hoping this is my solution to fix the slow m2 performance
Does that power cord come with the amazon stuff u linked
Thanks for this! I am currently considering upgrading my PCIe USB 2·0 card (and the connecting cables, A to Mini-B) to a 3·0 card, for my 3 (soon to be 4) external hard drives. I did not anticipate there would be any conflict, but I wanted to be sure - cos with computers, you just never know what's gonna decide to be wonky and develop a conflict.
I suppose however, I may have to also upgrade the enclosures, as my current ones are only 2·0 - I suppose I the mere card and cables will be enough to reap the speed benefits of the 3·0 until that is done?
Can anyone confirm that?
Thanks!
where can you get the drivers for this usb 3.0 from if you don't have it?
would it be possible to install the drivers online? my pc does not have an optical drive
Is this a Dell optiplex 3020 that this demonstration was being done on?
Thank you so much about this video! I have added three of those cards successfully for a complex flight simulation setup. My only problem is... when I connect my SAITEK joystick & throttle while my PC is switched off, then that triggers my CPU fan to start working indefinitely. I have to unplug them everytime after I am done with using the PC. The controls have their own power and I fear there is some power mixup. Any thoughts?
ive damaged my rear usb ports and have been using an external usb hub and i now need this more then ever
Good vid mate, thx.
can i put this on “legion T5 - black” motherboard?
I put in my usb 3 expansion slow into my pci-e 1x slot and I only get about 300mb/s speed. Don’t know why it’s so slow compared what I thought usb 3 are supposed to be.
Two questions: I didn't notice if the drive you were using was a hdd or an ssd. Also, can this setup be used to boot your PC or only for a secondary storage drive? Thanks
I tried this on an old pc but didn't get usb 3 speeds at all.
What no advertising or reviews on youtube mention is that yes the usb 3.0 card is pci express, if your motherboard has only pci express x1 to x16 slot but is actually pci express version 1 or version 1.1 then you can't get usb 3 speeds as the pci bus is too slow to reach usb 3 speeds.
will it work with pci-e 2.0 x16?
@@a.f9173 I'm trying to figure out the same thing.
If I get an answer before you do ill post it here
@@a.f9173 you will get 500 mbps through the pcie 2.0 instead of the 640 mbps that usb 3.0 usually has.
Still a huge jump compared to sub 2.0 that's only 60 mbps.
I think I'm going to order one.
@@a.f9173 also, since the pcie 2.0 lane limits us to 500 mbps, anything you plug into the usb card will share that speed.
So I would say a 2 port usb 3.0 card would make most sense in a pcie 2.0 single lane slot.
I do believe there may be a usb 3.0 card that takes more lanes of a pci slot if you have a larger slot available.
@@captron7814 so is it worth it?
I’m getting a 3.0 to use my Elgato HD60s as well! Awesome video, pretty much straight forward like I thought it would be! #NewSubbie
Do you need a pcie 3.0 or does it work with 2.0
How about a PCI slot and USB 3? On my retro computer (2003)
Very informative thank you new subscriber!
Bro, are those 4 ports multiplexed? Or individually connected which is not possible?
Can we run dual monitor display output from this? Using a port replicator?
Can you install the drivers online cause my pc doesn't have a cd drive
USB 3.0 Ports Card will get the job done for older PC
Jon! How did you get Cut Man? Did you make him out of something?! I want all the Master Robots!!
Nice thx, will it also work on a PCI 2.0, and increase the transfer speed
I have the exact same tower, motherboard and card used in this video. After plugging in the card, windows will never boot. If I remove it, it will. Any tips?
Seems like it's not powered? Are you sure the connection is seated?
Ive put the part in my PC but now it does not show up on my screen. Can someone help?
i just wanna lyk i fucking love you i literally got a hd60s and got the "your device has to be connected to a 3.0 to work when i plugged it in" so i sarched and found this so perfect man
i have a asus p8h61 motherboard can i install this pci card.
Great videos, thank you very much. I want to add usb 3.0 to my optiplex, but it is a small form factor model 780. IS there a usb 3.0 card that integrates with it? Thanks again!
Pat
If USB3 can transmit 10x faster than USB2, why is the data transfer only 3x faster?
Is this possible with an old windows 7 and if so can anyone help me find the ports and parts needed
@Spawnwave
Is there any way to do this with an IMac Desktop 27inch mid 2011 ? 🖥
Any info / tips on the matter would be highly appreciated . I have the same exact issue where I want to use the el gato hd60s but don’t have a 3.0 adapter on my older IMac
I'm not familiar with Macs but I would assume that they don't have motherboards or components that rely on PCI Express connections, which is what the method in this video takes advantage of.
I have a optiplex 390, will it work ??
Heya Spawn, speaking of your budget builds.
Monster Hunter World is coming in roughly 9-12 months, and my laptop can barely run Overwatch at minimum specs, so I don't really think it will be able to run MHW both somewhat pretty and without tanking FPS hard.
Unfortunately, although I play a crap ton of PC games, my overall PC spec knowledge is rather lacking. Could you do a quick runthrough on what I should be looking for and avoid when (massive quotes here) "building" a PC? What do I need to be aware of while planning a buy, what are the specs that can minimally run current gen at medium set 1080p 30FPS, or even 60 if it stays in budget.
I've seen many people complain that Capcom is "forcing" them to get a gaming rig to play the new installment of MH and I do think a solid consumer's guide on how to do this cheaply might sooth some people's rage.
Yes I know that if I save money now, I can buy a better base and card in the same budget range when MHW comes out rather than right now.
That's nearly basic common sense x)
I wouldn't call myself an expert but if you want to play at 1080p 30-60 fps in mid to high then a pentium G4560 along with a 1050 or a 1050ti will work and either 4 gb of ram or 8gb of ram will be enough though remember you'll still need a case and a motherboard
But if all you want to play is monster hunter then I suggest wait and see what the minimum specs are
Alternatively you can do what spawn did and get a core i3 or i5 for cheap and put in a 1050 or 1050ti
SlenderJow Don't get 1050 or ti. Get G4560 + RX 470. Not only is this amazing for 1080p 60fps in any modern game on at least high settings, it can also do some 4K. Great "budget" build and best bang for your buck. Also, get 8GB ram at least.
_(furiously googles what the fuck you guys are talking about)_
Fulken Haha don't worry I was also like that when I first got into
Thanks but my pci slots are all used up... bec. my graphics card takes up 2 spaces. Now what? :(
i wanna add Hdmi and Dvi ports to my pc 800 G1 twr i5 4th gen . plz help
can I insert it at the white slot?
I have the same pc but my little metal part sticks out what do I do
Does it work with the ones that only 2 usbs
Will thus work if your upgrade the old Mac towers
Does anyone know if I can connect a thunderbolt usb c 3 card to a desktop ?
Thanks, SWM! :)
if your computer already has usb 3.0 do you need the drivers? I just need more slots
Spoder Man just get a hub. Yes you still need drivers
i have the same problem like i bought a elgato hd60s but then i came with a problem that my pc does not have a usb 3.0
someone please help, i’m not a tech person but i’ve been trying to install thsi for the last hour and i can’t figure out where to plug the power cables in at. please someone help me im on the verge of tears right now
Could you do this mod with a phone/tablet board?
40k!!!!!! WOOT
joel hierro it's the spawn warhammer!
443k
what this support elgato 3.0?
Does anyone know if this will work on Linux? I'd wanna do this for a stream PC in a 2 PC set up.
It solely depends on if the mother board in question has the pcie slot
hi. what is the power cable name ?
Is plugging auxilary power mandatory ???? anybody tell me
Hi bro, how did you remove the hard drive bay?
