Why am I getting this warning?
If you received this warning message, our compatibility tool detected that some of the hardware that powers your computer's USB ports have known incompatibilities with Rift.
What does this mean?
Rift may not work with your computer's USB 3.0 ports.

My GA-990FX-UD3 gives the same thing, also my FX-9590 apparently doesn't meet the spec (yeah yeah AMD, i know, i know)
FX 9590 should be good enough in most cases. Especially for DX12 stuff. I had an FX 6300 before my friend gave me this rig. It was "too weak" for lots of things, yet it ran them just fine and did not hold my GPU back.
Mainly AMD chips are only weak in single threaded performance. Multithread is fine. And DX12 will help with single threaded load being spread to multi.
@Midnight - Any CPU pre haswell (eg Intel 4xxx) will likely return not good enough because of being from earlier generation. But 2500k at that speed will be fine, I'm sure of it.

Yeah, the CPU itself should be fine, and purely reported based on its stock speed. Running a single 980 card alongside.
The USB 3.0 thing has me concerned however. I can't even remember how many 3.0 ports I have at the back, so I better pull the unit out (which is a huge pain)....definately at least 2 ( 1 being extended to the front...though the front port is a bit dodgy these days)....
So if I'm right, I can still preorder this...not be charged until dispatch, but still within my rights to cancel the order at any time? (whereas could not do this with my DK1 and DK2)

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.

Same motherboard here, and same message.
The complaint may be an estimation of the bandwidth these USB 3.0 ports can provide. Seems very possible that it's sufficient already. Guess PCI-E USB 3.0 expansion boards are pretty cheap though, so I likely will just pick one up.
