I'm working on reviving an old pentium 4 machine, and with this project I bought a modern case so I could cool it better than it ever has before. But the new case only has the 19 pin usb 3.0 connector for front-panel usb while the motherboard only has 9 pin usb 2.0 headers.
 

I was wondering if these the connector is somehow backwards compatible with the 2.0 headers.
