I just bought the Hue+ from evetech and it requires a USB2 MB connection to control the colors etc. I have a AUSU impact and it doesnt have any USB2 only USB 3. 
So i need a USB 3 Male (to use one of the build in USB3 ports on the back) to USB 2 9pin male

Similar to the one below

-edit- nvm im confused

 

if you want usb 2.0 male motherboard header to usb 2.0 type A connector then what you shown is right, though you have to connect to the back

if you want usb 2.0 male motherboard header to usb 3.0 female motherboard header then im sure there's plenty if you search for it

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

The Hue+ requires USB 2 MB header (9pin male)

The board i have doesnt have USB 2 MB headers

 

So my only option is to connected the HUE+ into a cable that plug into one of the USB 3 ports at he back on the IO. the otherside of that cable needs to be a USB 2 header (9pin)

Do you have any spare usb 3 headers because you can buy adapters for those that allow the connection of usb 2 headers (afaik)

I have spare normal USB headers on the back by the IO not the 19pin ones on the board.

thats what im asking for is a normal USB 3 header to plug into my mb on the back by the IO that goes to a USB 9 pin male header so i can plug the HUE+ into that.

Fix was simple, Used a cellphone's mini-USB to USB cable, so only have 1 cable between the HUE+ and my PC and dont have to give up my front USB 3 ports
