Hi, I have a Z77N-WIFI motherboard and the rear USB ports appear to be registered only as USB 2.0. I downloaded and installed the USB 3.0 drivers from the AsRock site, but still they seem to be set to USB 2.0. I can not see an setting in BIOS to enable USB 3.0. How do I get USB 3.0 to work? (the USB 3.0 header does work, but the ports at the back of the mobo are only USB 2.0). I'm using Win 7 64bit and the BIOS version is: F2 (08/23/2012). Also, I just tried updating the BIOS, version 2.9 from this link: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z77%20Extreme4/?cat=Download&os=BIOS ...but it said the BIOS software was incorrect! Can anyone help? Thanks |

The title of your thread (Z77 Extreme4 - How to enable USB3.0 ?) is about the ASRock Z77 Extreme4 mother board. But the first sentence of your post is about a Z77N-WIFI board that is made by Gigabyte. I can also tell you are using a Gigabyte board by the BIOS version number, F2, which is a format that ASRock does not use, but Gigabyte does. I would certainly expect the BIOS of the ASRock Z77 Extreme4 to be rejected by that board. Can you explain this confusion, or extreme typos?  |

I think you are right Parsec, he is using a gigabyte Z77N-WIFI. A quick search and it seems there is only one BIOS update for his board: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4337#bios" rel="nofollow - Gigabyte Z77N-WIFI BIOS F3

Oh man, that's a little embarrassing! I originally ordered the Asrock board, but I forgot I couldn't use it in the end and finished up with a Gigabyte. Sorry for wasting your time! |
