I have a friend who bought a case that includes USB 3.0 and found out that his Mobo doesnt have slot for 3.0.

Problem is he bought the case weeks ago so he cannot return it.

 

Is there any way to convert the USB 3.0 on his case to 2.0?

that's too bad. I would send him the U.S. amazon link, just so he knows what it is. Maybe he can take a printout around to some different stores.
