Any way to add USB 3.0?

[star_pilot475]

Hey guys, so my mobo doesn’t have any usb 3.0 headers but I wondered if there is any way to add usb 3.0 to it anyway? I want a new case but if it has usb 3.0 on it and I can’t use that it would be kind of dumb.

Expansion card. That's pretty much the only way to add anything the motherboard doesn't have.

Use a PCI-E expansion card like this v

If you want a header so you can use your case's USB ports, there are cards that have one, like https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815124120&Description=usb 3.0&cm_re=usb_3.0-_-15-124-120-_-Product or https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6ZP8FA5411&Description=usb 3.0 expansion card with header&cm_re=usb_3.0_expansion_card_with_header-_-15-158-411-_-Product
