  That was definitely an issue with my Supermicro C7X58 with LGA1366 
socket. Of the four USB ports I kinda blew up while installing the ATX 
backplate, one of them turned out to be still working, years later, 
while one of the unaffected ports stopped working. It was a power issue, 
although I suppose sticking the little metal lips of the backplate into 
the ports didn't help.

I ended up buying a 4xUSB PCI (!) card to make up for the lost ports and 
the increasing number of USB devices.

Oh, and I'll never buy another Asus in my life, not after three 
mainboard and a graphics card all developed problems of some sort, or 
simply stopped working. Other people seem happy with them, though.
