USB 3.0 Header 20-pin problems

hooj · Oct 8, 2012

Hello i have a problem. I can't use my front USB 3.0 port because i have not 20-pin on my motherboard. so the 20-pin is left hanging but i want to put it to good use so what adapter (cable or pci) would i need?

I presume the pci option so i can slot it in, plug the 20-pin into it to power the front 3.0 and have some extra 3.0's at the back?

Or maybe this?

that one in the image doesnt seem to have the USB 3.0 header.

the link you gave will let you use the ports as USB 2.0

I bought one recently since I have 4 front USB 3.0 ports, and my motherboard only had 1 20-pin header.
