Hi.
I'm guessing that the nob on the case is either an easy way to
increase/decrease the fan speed, or overclock the processer (the
latter is less likely).
Concerning the difference between USB 3 ports, in theery if you
connect a device and look in Device Manager, it'll tell you which type
of port it's connected to.
Just out of interest, what type of CPU did you get, an I5?
Cheers.
