I need an X570 mobo with two usb c headers, two usb 3.0 headers, and SEVERAL usb 2.0 ports

for context I have a 5900x and a 3080 and im going to watercool hardline a 1000D from corsair and ALL those corsair fans need usb connectivity as well as the rest of the rgb....

Why are you looking for a motherboard with these features instead of just getting an add-in card with the required headers?

my taichi as it stands has one 3.0 header and one usb c header, I need two of each just for my 1000D front panel io

im doing a hardline loop in my case that is all corsair fans, ek fittings and blocks, and lian li strimers which requires many usb 2.0 headers for the rgb. My vertical mounted gpu takes up two slots my ten gig card takes up one slot, which leaves one slot to supply the usbc, usb 3.0, and 4-5 usb 2.0 headers needed

 

While technically I can get a motherboard with all but one feature and add a single expansion card in the X8 slot behind the 10 gig I dont really see an alternative than a fairly high end motherboard or me shelving the vertical mount

You can also get USB header splitters, like this one that splits out 1 USB 2.0 header into 4: https://www.amazon.com/Header-Extension-Connector-Adapter-Multilier/dp/B07J1SKB8K

 

Since you don't need the full USB 2.0 bandwidth, as it's just controlling RGB, that solution should be fine.

 

And here's a card that gives you another USB Type C and USB 3.0 header inside the case, plus a bonus of 2 rear USB type C cables supporting 10Gbps: https://www.amazon.com/Expansion-SuperSpeed-Internal-Express-Adapter/dp/B09H428PLW

 

That should cover it.

I could also drill a whole in the back of my case and convert rgb devices to usb male and plug it into the mobo like that its not ideal but then i wouldnt need a new mobo. The thing is i want this thing pristine i plan to use this case the rest of my life

Okay, then you should try a different one. There literally isn't a motherboard with 4+ USB 2.0 headers supporting the 5900X. You're gonna have to use a splitter or an add-in card.

fair enough but I still need a motherboard with two 3.0 headers and two usbc headers because i only have one slot for a pcie to usb 3.0 card and those can most likely be split down to four extra usb 2.0 headers i would imagine

Why would you want female to female splitters? What would that accomplish? You'd go from a USB 3.0 header to two USB 2.0 cables that plug into headers.

 

If you mean female USB 3.0 to male USB 2.0, yes, that exists: https://www.amazon.com/MZHOU-Adapter-Motherboard-Interface-Expansion/dp/B09WDGYVS4

You're not gonna like the answer. As far as I know, only one AM4 board exists that has both two USB 3.0 headers and two USB C headers. The Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme - which costs $1000+

I'd probably give it a shot, as $38 is a lot cheaper than $1200.

I was hoping against hope I wasn't right but I saw that motherboard choice too. That means that when this case came out initially there was no consumer grade cpu platforms that supported all of the front IO that is so wild to me

 

Ill do some shopping around and see if i can find a better rated version of exactly that 3.0 and usbc card, if you could tell me the search query to get me started or if u already see one that matches this description it would appreciated.
