Case doesnt support 3.0 while my motherboard does

Hey i was wondering if this would be a problem if my case doesn't have USB 3.0 ports, while my motherboard has 2x USB 3.0 ports. When i say this i mean since my case doesn't support USB 3.0 wouldn't it block the ports on my motherboard?

You'd have to run cables to rear ports or add a pci usb3 card to have all 4 functional.
