My new computer case has four USB 3.0 ports. Which are split into two 20 pin connectors. 

 

My motherboard only has one internal connector.

 

What is the best way to convert the spare 20 pin connector into other ports I have on the motherboard? Without sacrificing much speed. 

 

My motherboard:

ASUS prime x570-pro

1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 (up to 10Gbps) connector
1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 (up to 5Gbps) connector support additional 2 USB ports

 

You have 2 usb 3 header, one you can use without any conversion.

The other one you can use a gen2 to gen 1 converter like this.

Do USB 3.1 Gen1 Headers work with 3.2 type-A USB ports? - CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory - Linus Tech Tips

A USB splitter can be an easy workaround.

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

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
