What 3700x mobo supports USB 3.2 Gen2 case connector (£100 roughly)

[j1mgg]

Hi,

 

I was wondering what motherboard would work with 3700x that comes with a usb 3.2 gen2 connector so I can use the front usb c port on phanteks 600?

 

Budget is roughly £100

 

Current board is b450 tomahawk max, but one of the pins is broken so the two normal front usb ports are already flakey.

 

I was going to gift this board to cheap build I was going to do for my son, and get myself a new board, as it would make transferring data on and off alot easier than going round the back.

 

Thanks,

 

Jim

how many usb 3.2 connectors do you need?

The cheapest board with USB-C front panel connector is probably the Asus Prime X370-pro.

Other options would be the Asus prime X470-pro or the Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra gaming, but they are a bit more pricey.

Outside of that you are looking at 200 pound boards. Boards with USB-C front paneling are generally not cheap

Sure but the X370 and X470 would need bios flash or 2nd gen cpu. Would an X570 not be better. You can find sub €200 X570 boards on Amazon, although they are more expensive.

But not with a front panel USB-C connector, the thing OP is looking for. Those x570 boards start at 200 and go up.

Would just be looking for one, just with looking at building my son a budget build, it might of been a good idea to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

Does the tomahawk support 3.2 gen2? If so, just get a new one of those. Do you have access to a 2nd gen chip? If so, try going for an X470.

It doesn't support the silly connector the case has.

Looks like I may just have to live with using a long cable from the back just now, unless any of the boards above are especially good.
