question about this msi board MSI P67A-GD55

[cbooker]

i was looking at getting this motherboard but noticed it only has 1 usb connection on the motherboard itself, is there any connector or anything i could connect to it to make at least 3 connections as that is how many i need

It says it has 8 usb 1.1/2.0 and 2 usb 3.0.

 

[cbooker]

not the usb plug-ins on the back but on the motherboard itself, the 9-pin connectors

It says it has

Rear panel Eight USB 2.0 and Two USB 3.0.

Onboard Two USB 3.0 and Two USB 2.0

i can only see 1 usb 2.0 and 1 usb 3.0 i don't see 2 anywhere

Think what they have done. The USB 3.0 port has a back panel I/O card that connects to it for two USB 3.0, that comes with the board. You have the blue USB port thats 2.0 and another one below the SATA ports called JFP1

so the JFP1 connection on the motherboard can be used to connect the usb inputs on the front of my case which is the HAF 932

From the manual it looks like it is. But if you look at the board on MSI site, it says different from newegg.

Internal ports.
1 x USB 2.0 connector
1 x USB 3.0 connector
