PSA: Your USB 3.0 ports may not be compatible with the Rift
If you're meeting the recommended specs you may not have bothered to run the compatibility tool, but you should still run it to check your USB 3.0 ports. Apparently the ones on my motherboard (Asmedia controller) are known to cause problems. At first I thought this was meaningless since the tool is doing some other silly things (like saying some CPUs aren't compatible even though they're faster than the recommended spec) but then I saw this post on the oculus forums:
So, there are a variety of different USB controllers, and not all of them are fully compatible with the Rift. The Compatibility Tool will show you a warning if this controller is known to cause problems. Even though the port may be labeled as USB 3.0, and be functional, it may not work with the Rift.

If you do have this issue, you can buy a PCI-E add-on card. This one is confirmed to work.

Just a heads up.
NOTE: I think any of the versions of this card should work as they all use the Fresco controller, but obviously the 2 port one isn't going to give you enough to run the Rift plus the Touch. Also make sure it's one of the powered cards (comes with internal power cables). I received the card from Amazon (the 5 port+20 pin version) and can confirm it passes the test. If you keep your incompatible ports enabled it will still give you a warning message but you should be good to go as long as you don't use them for the Rift. I just disabled my Asmedia ports since this thing has 7 ports anyway (including the 2 front panel ports it gave me). Feels like a quality card, not cheap junk.
