Hello, I am building a new PC and I have a Asus x99 Delux i'm going for all white theme so I bought myself for a very good price a Corsair Graphite 600T And Since i'm a guy who still uses SD slot cards and memory cards and ect. I bought a multi card reader expansion slot. Now Unfortunatly for me my case has quite a few cables that have to be connected  It has 2 USB headers. The power and led connectors and a Actual USB 3.0 cable inside.  I need 3 usb 2.0 slots but only have one for use! Is there some sort of splitter I can buy? like a USB 3.0 header connector  to a 3 way usb 2.0 header cable?  or if I get a 3.0 Splitter to USB Would those 2 usb 2.0 would be non required to be connected?

It appears that the Asus X99 Deluxe has two USB 2.0 headers, but as you said you need 3 for your case and card reader.

 

You could use an adapter cable to plug USB 2.0 devices into the USB 3.0 header on the motherboard if you're not using it:

I can't seem to find an expansion card to with USB 2.0 headers, but there are several that can add internal USB 3.0 headers, which you can convert to USB 2.0 using the above adapter:

This seems sort of a bulky solution, but you may struggle to find a PCIe USB 2.0 card with headers on it.

Best of luck, LinusDropTips.

Since you need more internal USB 2.0 connector, i would suggest an internal hub.

Something like the NZXT IU01.
