I'm looking to buy a new case and the one i have my eyes on, has 2xUSB2.0 and 1xUSB3.0

and my motherboard has support for 2x front panel usb3.0

So is it possible to change the case's usb ports ?

From my understanding no you can't unless you get like some sort of pcb with extra 3.0 or something (idk if something like that exists)

There are header adapters available. Search for 19-Pin USB3.0 to USB2.0 Adapter Cable.

@tep as i've checked on the 19-Pin USB3.0 to USB2.0 Adapter Cable, it seems that it connects to motherboard's front panel usb2.0... i want to use the motherboard's front panel usb3.0 port...

@TofuHaroto as far as i've searched around, there are front panel USB3.0 hubs but im just wondering if i can just swap the USB2.0 port on the front panel of the case to a USB3.0 female port so i can just connect it to my motherboard's frontpanel usb3.0 header

About that no you can't

Since all the front panel io is in a pcb (you know) your going to have to take it out and get another front panel pcb with 3.0 

But in all honesty. I don't think that exists 

Although maybe someone else knows
