I current use https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071P5C6CS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_nbPxDb9PTX69E
Im currently running 6.5 update 2
I tried it with everything but my mouse plugged in and no dice.
I got this
I have this board. I'm not sure if it has voltage boost
That's not going to work for a variety of reasons. Can you get an expansion card like this - https://www.amazon.com/FebSmart-Self-Powered-Technology-No-Additional-FS-U2-Pro/dp/B071P5C6CS/ (Not an endorsement of this particular card)
What computer do you have that doesn't have USB 3.0 ports? It may not be enough to run VR.
You probably should search but ...
You want this: https://www.amazon.com/FebSmart-Self-Powered-Technology-No-Additional-FS-U2-Pro/dp/B071P5C6CS/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=pcie+usb3&qid=1574451858&sr=8-5
As for the GPU, check the Oculus Link requirements.
It depends on the age and features of your motherboard.
Re-soldering is an option, if it’s directly mounted on the backplane (the rectangular window where USB, integrated audio jacks, integrated video ports, etc.)
If you’ve broken something in a port mounted elsewhere in the chassis, chances are something like https://www.amazon.com/RIITOP-Female-Connector-Adapter-Bracket/dp/B01KJPUI5W/ would work.
There are also PCI-e cards like https://www.amazon.com/FebSmart-Self-Powered-Technology-No-Additional-FS-U2-Pro/dp/B071P5C6CS/ but it’s possible they won’t work properly before Windows is loaded.
Since you said it’s the motherboard side for you specifically, if you don’t have another 3.0 port on the motherboard, it will be soldering, or the PCI-e expansion card, (assuming you aren’t using a super slim chassis)
I purchased this on Amazon yesterday and it just arrived a few hours ago. It was exactly what I needed! Now I have all 3x sensors including my Rift running on USB 3.0 without any warnings or issues!
Edit: And the best part, it doesn't require external power so my build still looks clean. My previous card was a dud so I requested a refund and bought Just Fab's instead.
