June 2, 20197 yr I'm looking to do a Ryzen build later this year, and have been thinking about using the new ASRack X470D4U server motherboard. It seems that the motherboard doesn't come with any USB 2.0 ports (only USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports). Will this cause any issues with my USB 2.0 stick when it comes to booting or general compatibility? I believe I've seen it in passing that there have been problems in the past when it comes from using the boot flash drive in a USB 3.0 port.

Damn. Guess Iām going to have to wait until someone tries it and reports back. Iām not going to spend $270 on a motherboard and then proceed to frustrate myself forever trying to get it to work.

If it doesn't, just add a USB expansion card.
