GIGABYTE GA-Z68AP-D3 USB 3.0

[djsprat]

I couldn't find anyone that is using the same mobo that I have, which is the GIGABYTE GA-Z68AP-D3. I had a problem waking from sleep that seems to have abated. I also had a problem with the sound card, but I had a USB sound card that is working fine, so I don't have to worry about that for now. Has anyone been able to get the USB 3.0 ports to work? If not that, any recommendations for a pci-e card that is compatible? Thanks.

You will need a NEC/Renesas pci-e card since MB has the kext for the chipset.

You can buy from here

Unless someone here can chime in on here with a working card they use beside the above.

I don't see much people on here buying pci USB 3.0 cards though. This is experimenting territory.
