Hi ladies and gents,

 

I have recently purcahesed new mobo - Gigabyte b550 aorus pro ac, and was aware there is a usb 3.2 gen 1 header for front panel, but it is a 20 pin connection. On case - Lian Li o11 air mini, there is a usb c conector for front io. Any chance there is an adapter so I can get complete functionality on the front io?

 

Thanks in advance!!

Products like this exist for that: https://www.amazon.com/MZHOU-Computer-Mainboard-Adapter-Expansion/dp/B08N4LQJJN/ref=asc_df_B08N4LQJJN/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=493040148899&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13779559839850068834&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1025197&hvtargid=pla-1102169591448&psc=1

though keep in mind you will be limited to 3 gen 1 specs and power. You can also get a pci card add on for the header, that may be the better way to go if you want full spec type c.

Thanks!

I already looked into this adapter, but i think I will opt for expansion card...may be a bit harder for cable mngmt but none the less...
