If it does... at what speed?

5Gb/s (USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1/3.2 Gen 1 speed default)

Are there any major feature I'll lose from Gen 1 to Gen 2 aside from the speed? (idk... not a usb guy... thinking being able to power a monitor with Gen 2 and not Gen 1?

It's really only speed as far as I remember.

 

See page 34 of the motherboard manual for all the info:

Is the front header of the Tomahawk compatible with the connector on the H510? The one on the Tomahawk is Gen 1 while the H510 has a Gen 2 connector... I can't find anything online about the connector (don't know what to call it xd). If their connectors fit... I'm assuming it should work but with Gen 1 speed?

Answers I'm looking for:

  1. Will the H510 connector fit on the Tomahawk?
  2. If it does... at what speed?
  3. Are there any major feature I'll lose from Gen 1 to Gen 2 aside from the speed? (idk... not a usb guy... thinking being able to power a monitor with Gen 2 and not Gen 1? xd)

P.S. This is my first forum post... sooo sorry if I posted it in the wrong section... also I did it on my phone sooo idk if the layout would be fine (gonna try to make it organized as best as I can)

the internal header?

Type E USB Header = the internal part that connects to motherboad

Type C = mostly used in devices

 

edit: think it has 20 pins?

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately
