WIFI + Bluetooth card uses USB 2.0 header

Frandesktop

I got a pcie x1 WIFI + Bluetooth card, and in order for the Bluetooth to work, I must connect a connector from the USB 2.0 header.

Is this a standard way? If all my USB headers are taken, what can I do instead?

 

*Edit: Why does the Bluetooth alone needs the USB header? doesn't PCIE have enough bandwidth?

 

Thanks

in what PCIe? what are both rated for x1, x8, x16?

you can buy an USB hub, unless your ports can't handle much, if up to spec USB 2 or USB 3 then;

other dongle and hub with power

try a hub, like this one

(note: amazon link refers to amazon.de, there should be the same product in amazon.com) https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01IFGFTJ2/

edit: Amazon.con link: https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Internal-USB-Hub-AC-IUSBH-M3-4/dp/B08L8VJS3Z/ (not the same product but same brand and same purpose)
