Supported USB3 chipsets - Meta Community Forums

Is there a list somewhere of all the supported USB3 chipsets?

My pc is a min-itx form factor, and the integrated USB3 controller is flagged as not compatible, this means I have to buy a mini-pci-e USB3 card like this:
http://www.startech.com/Cards-Adapters/USB-3.0/Cards/2-Port-Mini-PCI-Express-USB-3-Adapter-Card-with...

Rather than roll the dice and end up with an incompatible card, I'd like to be able to hunt down a known working adapter.

The Startech one for example uses the Renesas uPD720202, as does this one (which looks ideal with 4 ports) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Inline-66905-Mini-PCIe-Card-USB/dp/B00N2ACIG4/ref=pd_sim_sbs_23_7?ie=UTF8&dp...

If there are no mini-pci-e adapters with a supported controller I'll have to use something like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/PCI-E-Express-Extension-Adapter-Riser/dp/B012C3HWQW/ref=pd_sim_sbs_23_30?ie=...

but obviously I'd rather use a dedicated mini-pci-e card.

This brand is known to work. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FPI ... _i=desktop

Apparently they all use the Fresco controller.

My ASUS X99E-WS also passed the Oculus test, with both Intel and ASMedia USB 3.0/3.1 on-board.

CaptainDangerous has the correct answer.

Ah that wonderful feeling when your stock USB 3.0 passes the Oculus test 😄

i have the X-99a (pre3.1) and it has the same chips for USB, Intel and ASMedia... And similarly passed.

If I had known I'd be using so many USB ports, I'd have gone for the deluxe version. C'est la vie.

Please some help here.

I have 4 usb 3.0 ports, (AsMedia USB 3.0 - 0.96 Microsoft ) and didn't pass the test.
My understanding is USB 3.0 is a standard, so is it a reason why some USB 3.0 are not compatible?

Also my CPU Intel Core i7 3930K 3.20HHz is failing too, however this CPU is faster by 35% over the Oculus recommended specs. So again, why is it failing too?

Because I strongly believe the CPU fail is a mistake, unless there are some technical reasons, the USB 3.0 fail could be another error from Oculus compatibillity tool. Therefore, the USB expansion wouldn't be necessary.

You might try going into your device manager, then scrolling down to your USB controllers and expand that tab. Many motherboards have multiple 3.0 host controllers. On my Asrock Extreme4 z77 motherboard I would fail the oculus test, but after disabling my Asmedia usb 3.0 controller, and only testing my Intel usb host controller, I was able to pass the test. I think oculus may just check controllers and if one that has shown issues is there, you are flagged, regardless if there is another controller that uses different usb hubs that is compatible.

Hope this helps.

In the device detail on my motherboard that passed the Oculus compatibility test, I see that the Intel USB 2.0 & 3.0 interfaces support "Fast Back to Back" PCI transactions, while the ASMedia interface does not.

Perhaps that is a required attribute to meet the needs of the Rift.
