Gigabyte Z77-D3H On/Off?

Hey guys,

From what i understood was the Z77-D3H was capable of their On/Off charging system, everywhere I've looked it's shown a USB header on the motherboard with a white connector, mine doesn't have this?

Or is it more simple like a driver I need to install that activates it on all the USB ports?

Thanks

Its a driver/software on the disk or download - http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/Utility.aspx?cg=2

I've downloaded that driver, it allows my iPhone 5 to continue charging after the PC has shut down but unlike in that video I can't disconnect and re-connect my iPhone to continue charging?

I can only assume because the board doesn't have that unique USB connector, you cant disconnect and then reconnect the device to be charged.

Here is what it says on the gigabyte site:

* Due to certain mobile phone limitations, users may need to connect the mobile phone to their PC before the PC enters S4/S5 mode to enable a quick charge from non ON/OFF Charge USB ports.
Charging results may vary by model.

So if the board doesn't have the unique port then likely it goes by this rule.
