Do USB 3.1 Gen1 Headers work with 3.2 type-A USB ports?

[Dan Flame]

Hello! I've been researching the parts to make a computer but I just wanted to know if USB 3.1 Gen1 Headers work with USB 3.2 type-A ports? Or do i have to buy some adapters to make it work?

Can you give some more information on what you're trying to do?
Are you trying to connect a case's front USB to a motherboard? Can you tell us what motherboard+case you plan on getting?

 

Typically front panel USB 3.2 Gen 2/3.1 Gen 2 uses a different connector compared to 3.2 Gen 1/3.1 Gen 1/3.0.

Do you mean the H500 or H510?

The H500 only has USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1 or simple USB 3.0).

Your board has the header here:

 

I asked if you're gonna usethe H500 or H510, because the H510's USB Type C requires a different header:

H500: only needs the blue/larger one

H510: needs both. Your board only has a single blue/larger one.

 

TL;DR: if you're gonna use the H500 case (not H510), your board has the right connector.
