Ofc i can...
its not on the main board... i may be able to steal a iphone and then i can show you the picture. The USB Host controller is on a separate PCB which is actually connected to the board with many wires, but as i said the controller chip is on a small PCB on the front of the case and can easely be separated from the board.
When you see that picture, the PCB is connected to the USB 3.0 and the 2 front panel connectors, so 3 wires in total. The ASM1041 chip is on the PCB which is connected from the front panel. The PCB itself is extremely small and very cheap, i read "Asmedia 1042" on the chip, so its the one being affected on the USB 3.0 100%. Maybe 10 $ only and probably does fit into a thick envelope.

Ofc the board is totaly dissasemled there, usualy there is aswell a chipset cooler and a lot of other stuff on the board.
What i find weird, the black connector (left front panel connector, COM1) isnt used at all. But i cant find a possible slot on the PCB so far. Its surely a power connector because of its huge "iron spikes".
PCB is a board in which chips and other electronics are soldered and wired together. Chips are usualy embedded on such PCBs (ofc there are some exceptions). PCBs can have any kind of shape such as you know, a GPU is aswell on a own PCB, thats why its so easy to remove. Sadly much harder as bigger a board gets because much more parts which can get faulty and hard to separate the issue. With board i usualy mean main board, or MB in shortcut.. but its not the only board.
I think, because sometimes it can regonize the chip (a few times it even worked on USB 3.0 but then all of a sudden it stopped working), but usualy the chip is kinda shutted down or working faulty. However, the USB 2.0 slot on the same PCB still works proper. I think its truly a issue with some parts on that PCB. Its very unlikely that the connection or the board itself is faulty because the only issue i got is on those 2 USB 3.0 slots who either dont work or they got to low power. The reason they got to low power can be several different issues ofc, but the highest possibility is directly on the parts of the PCB. Because the big board is actually not having any electronics for apart from the bus and power connector (that they are faulty is truly very low possibility). The chipset itself isnt having any ability in order to "translate" the USB 3.0 signals, so its very unlikely to cause any failure. The USB 2.0 they all working proper and are handled by the chipset.
Anyway, its very hard to reach the connectors, but i can try to remove and attach, maybe one of the connectors isnt attached properly even if its not viewable. But if that doesnt work it truly is faulty electronics or wires.
Now i even found many other people with USB 3.0 problems on theyr dedicated solutions. It seems like the quality has already been better once... way better. Nowadays. just money. The issue links described is only the top of the mountain, most people wont write down on the net, and those stuff is less than a year of age.

Well if the issues would be solved its surely awesome board. I know of no second one of that size able to execute teaming LAN and with 2x 1Gbit LAN card inside.
