USB 3.0 on 2.0 socket

[kajar9]

I am planning on purchasing a case which has 1xUSB 3.0 and 1xUSB 2.0 port on chassi,

plus I intend to transfer over my 2xUSB 3.0 panel to the new case.

The problem though, is that I have only 1 USB 3.0 motherboard connector.

1 x USB 3.0 header (supports 2 USB 3.0 ports) (Etron EJ168A)

 

And the front panel (image) takes it.

 

So basically the chassis 3.0 port would have to be unconnected. But I really don't wan't useless ports on my machine.

I have considered plugging it shut with an USB cover, but I'd rather have it working to some degree.

 

And I need a minimum of 4 ports in front, of which 2 need to be 3.0

 

 

TLDR;

So basically my question is... is it possible to make a single usb 3.0 port run on usb 2.0 header, meaning it would work like an USB 2.0 port?

Why repost? I just answered you're original post, you just need to wait.

EDIT: Another thing you could do is just buy a case with 2xUSB 2.0 and 2xUSB 3.0 ports, like the Corsair Graphite 760t.
