Hello everyone, 

I own the Asus Prime X470-Pro mobo, and I wanted to see if you guys would give me suggestions on a productive use for the USB 3.1 gen 2 On board front panel connector. I don't have a case that has the ability to take advantage of it so if you guys could give some suggestions on what to get that would be great. To be a little more specific I would like to take advantage of the 10/gb theorical transfer speeds and higher wattage.

 

Thanks.

Oh cool, anything else I can use?

I use mine to charge my phone, USB C to USB C is neat looking.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

As time goes on, you'll start to see much more USB C devices, and cases that have the connector. Right now it's being included since it's an up and coming standard.

Well this mobo already has an integrated USB c port in the back so I really do agree with you. This USB 3.1 gen 2 is just in there just not being used. Kinda sad.

Personally I was considering modding my current case to have a USB C port up front, since I've got a lot of room on my 5.25" bays. There are lots of options for header to female cables

I mean, NVMe drives and other PCIe connections are really fast as well. If you specifically mean that header, well, it's a USB header so the only thing that can use it is USB
