Add on cards for extra USB3 ports, please recommend a decent one!
I have a Gigabyte MB that has lost a pin on the one and only internal USB header port, so only one of the two external USB ports works. I did buy a PCIE add on card giving extra external ports but it died relatively quickly. Could anyone please recommend a decent card,with an on card internal header, ideally one that supports fairly high current draw devices? OS in Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I think some cards use external power for their ports? I am confident doing surface mount component changes but being a multi layer board (probably VERY multi layer!) I have cried off trying to use a needle to push out the broken pin and fit a replacement from a scrap MB, call me a wimp if you will
