So I should get my PC back in a couple of days but I suddenly have a thought to the problem of the front USB ports, and sorry if some of you have already stated the obvious before (other than my wasting my time on this build)...
As I have said before, they work independently fine but when I put in 2 things, only 1 port works. It’s not a power drain issue as the combo I tested are a mouse with a flash drive or something... Some of you have said it’s a dodgy cable, but isn’t that one of the cables from the case itself? So swapping the motherboard wouldn’t solve the issue then? When I first spoke to OC, they said it was missing pins on the motherboards so which is which? Like I said, the ports work perfectly fine as long as only 1 of them is in use and when I looked inside the case, I think I saw 2 separate cables from the front ports... and I presume the pins are on the motherboard not the cables?
They are still going to swap the motherboard as the Bluetooth definitely is related to the motherboard...
Then you can do enough combinations that you would be able to rule out or identify a dodgy cable, a dodgy device or a dodge motherboard. No point worrying until the machine comes back.
