I have that motherboard, but I have not used USB3 on it.  I have used
USB3 via this card:

and this one:

On two separate laptops ... with no problems with either.

I would recommend that you have the latest firmware for the motherboard:

The last 2 BIOS updates are for USB ... the most recent one less than 2
weeks ago (Version 2501, 2014.05.14)
