You infer from the the translation that the x79 chipset only supports USB2.0, therefore no x79 motherboard can have USB3.0. This is clearly not true. Even if the x79 chipset doesn't support USB3.0, that doesn't mean motherboard manufacturers can't add USB3.0 support.. lol   ..either that, or my current x79 board is magic.

Well, since i'm far from being an expert, i'm here for some kind of answers or tips. You said " even if the x79 chipset doesn't support USB3.0, that doesn't mean motherboad manufactuers can't add USB3.0 support.. lol "

anybody can explain that?

You want people to believe that you can build a PC with questions like the ones your asking? Come on, man!

lol look at you

i'm set, but since i read this article, a doubt has appeared regarding the USB 3.0 comptability

Thanks for your help Blackviperthing 

You appear on the forums of a motherboard vendor to ask a question that many would say comes off as trolling. You source one and only once source for your question for which a simple search could provide an answer for.
If anything you could've have simply asked yourself why would EVGA not have USB 3.0 compatibility on the X79 Dark when their entire Z87, X79, Z77, and Z68 line of motherboards have it?

It's was a good question. X79 doesn't natively support USB 3.0 it must use PCIe bandwidth unlike Zxx boards that due support it. That is the one biggest problem with the X79 now, but it's the same for all X79 MOBOs.

Running out of patients. If only the RIVE had the same color scheme as the Dark.

The less you think about the delays to the Dark, the faster it will come ;)   I understand the frustration though as I have a mainboard that I spent close to 500 bucks on and it sits in a box.

Note to EVGA:  Please let us known VERY soon what type of plan will be in place for those of us with existing X79 boards.  I think there has been MORE than enough time to decide on a policy.  The silence doesn't instill much confidence.   Thank you.

Just want to say that we have the program almost nailed down, and working on the announcement and final details. It is quite close so please stay tuned :)

My issue with the question is simply how could it be possible or why would EVGA not have the Dark be USB 3.0 compatible. Last few months the comments have been heavily based on the release date and stability of the Dark. Then out of nowhere comes a suspicious comment about a feature that makes you question the forum member than the question being asked. How the Dark will have the USB 3.0 implemented I can understand that as something many would like to know, not that it won't support it.

You need to re read his question. I honestly think he didn't know and was just looking for the answers. It can be confusing. The X79 Intel chipset does not natively support USB 3.0. So it's not native, but there has been a work around via the PCIe 1x that will make it compatible (this is not native support) and I don't think he realized that based on the article link he posted. It's not an issue about the Dark, rather X79. From what I can understand the Zxx chipset does not need to use PCIe bandwidth in order to support USB 3.0... the X79 has other features the Zxx does not though.

In other words, his question would have made more sense at the X79 release and not almost 2 years later. Yes, I did read his question and like others that posted right after I found it laughable. The X79 Dark does not support USB 3.0, seriously? You could even go by the translation he put forth and ask which X79 motherboard has only USB 2.0. I was not comparing how USB 3.0 is implemented on the X79 and Z series motherboards. I was trying to point out that EVGA has the feature on current and upcoming motherboards, so taking it out on the Dark just doesn't make sense.  At least we got some new info on the Dark.

@ILikeBeans

Thanks for your support! I appreciate a lot and you got it right. No worries, i understand that some people didn't like my question.

No offense ViperBlack. My last pc was bought from DELL, in 2007. Since that year, USB3.0 came out and i don't know a thing about it. Since a month, i want to build a very good pc and I simply found this french article. It seemed odd to me and I decided to ask the question here to discuss about it and learn something. I knew that USB3.0 was on the market, but how could it be not compatible.


Now i understand and thanks to ILikeBeans who backed me up and Nereus for this link

Btw, perhaps the X79 Dark is too good for me. I'm just looking for a lot of sata ports (SATA 6.0), i want 64 GB of RAM and at least 2 videocards. Today's overclocking doesn't look that hard and perhaps a little gain would be good as well (never beyond the very safe zone). I'm open for any good advice! :)

If you had prefaced your original question with this statement the response would have been different. I hope you understand the timing issue with me criticizing your question. Also, I was not laughing at you the person for the post.  As I pointed out early, others clearly found it an odd question to post in the form you did.
