The other day I shifted my main system into my old Antec 1080 (or 1040, or whatever it is... it's one of the old Chieftec variants, anyhow), and I found that the front USB only runs at 1.1 speeds. I get the "This device can perform faster" popup.
I've tried several different ways of wiring it, and I can't figure out what's going on. Here's how I have it set up now:
R--W--G--Bl-Br
2--4--6--8--10
1--3--5--7
O--Y--Gr-B
The blue wire actually has two wires there, a blue and a thick black. I did some reading, and found a couple other things to try, like disconnecting the brown wire, or switching the blue and brown wires, or moving the brown wire to pin 8 and then leaving the blue wire disconnected. None of that works.
This thing should be able to do USB 2.0... it's just a direct pass-through wire going to the front ports, which is all the same between USB 1.1 and 2.0.
So, any ideas what might be going wrong here?
Update: I figured out how to get the front panel off, and the cable for the USB ports looked pinched. But even when I tried a new cable (with various wiring configurations), I still couldn't get it recognized as USB 2.0. I don't get it.
