USB 3.0 Won't work with Sensor (Fine with Headset)

[KilographVR]

Have a number of blue, USB 3.0 ports on my Asus Sabertooth X79 - no issues with the Headset, but can't seem to get the Sensor to work properly and get compatibility issues. Even have swapped out the working USB ports with the headset, still a problem with JUST the sensor. Have tried updating drivers, checked power settings. Not sure what's up. Dropped it to a USB 2.0 spot. Works, but not idea of course.

Any suggestions for what I guess is not entirely uncommon (so far most suggestions I've tried).

You are going to have to buy a USB 3.0 PCI Controller. I have the Rampage IV Black Edition and was having the same issues. That PCI board got my issues solved.
