Looking For a good PCIe USB card with onboard Type C header

That's it pretty much. My case has a Type C port but my mobo has no header for it (even though it has a built in usb c port). I have PCIe M.2 but that is getting used by NVMe drive. I have seen a few PCIe cards on amazon but they all appear to have various issues and I'm not willing to risk returns and such. For instance one review on a card said it wouldn't charge an oculus quest 2. I don't have a VR headset atm but I will in the future and such a feature on the front of my case would be awesome.

Any recommendations of cards would be very much appreciated, thanks.

cool looks good. will have a look at it. not the easiest thing to track down. from that link you can only buy if you are a business with a licence!?! found it on amazon though. quite a bit more expensive than others of the same type I have seen, more money = more gooder I presume lol.

The site is just the manufacturer's, they indeed don't sell direct, only through retailers.

 

Yeah they're more expensive but at least you've got a card with proper power delivery and appropriate bandwidth with a x4 PCIe interface, not like one of those no name things that put 8 ports on a x1 link...

yeah its looking like that's the way to go. I have found other cards like the silverstone ECU02-E that has the more up to date controller chip ASM3142 compared to the delock's ASM2142 but the silverstone is on PCIe x2. from what I can tell the ASM3142 is only better because of power efficiency improvements. 

well thanks for your help Kilrah, passed on a wee bit of knowledge and helped me narrow my search criteria. 

thanks again.
