USB4 Header

[FuuMasta]

So I wish to buy a case with USB 3.x Type C on the front panel.

 

Since I will keep that case for a while and do upgrade in the meantime. I want to know if I will be able to turn the Type-C port on my front panel into USB4?

 

Is is compatible? Does the motherboard header will be the same?

 

Thanks

No such thing.   USB type C is a single point header so currently all the cases I know of only have a single USB type C port.   I haven't seen any with 2, much less 3.

That is not my question at all....

 

Is a USB 3.x Type C header the same as a USB4 header?

Will I be able to convert my Type C of the front panel into a USB4 one day?

Sorry I somehow misread your question.   what you said USB 3x type C I thought you meant 3 Type C connectors.   

 

This link may help you.  

 

The connectors should be the same size physically.  If I were you I would look for a case that uses a separate cable for the USB type C connector and not one that goes into a board.  That way if they are different it could be changed out.

USB 4 will use the same USB Type-C connector that we have right now
