JUSB3 doesn't fit!

Hey guys, 

 

I have a small problem here...

 

I recently bought the Accelero Xtreme IV cooler from Arctic, for my new GTX1070, because I wasn't satisfied with the reference cooler that it came with.

The cooler fits perfectly on the card and it cools the card (e)xtremely good :)

 

Problem now is, that due to the backplate cooler that comes with the Accelero Xtreme, I can't get the JUSB3 connector to fit into the motherboard, which means that the front USB connectors of my Case do not work.

 

Is there any way I could fix that? Maybe with an adapter or some re-wireing technique? 

I happy to hear your suggestions! :)

i have searched long and wide for usb 3 mobo pin adapters at a 90 degree angle because it looked ugly but i could never find one, searched every place i could think off. that's my experience atleast, i hope someone else here can prove me wrong because i need something like that too.

I can't upload pictures right now, but will do in the evening.

 

My Specs though:

- i5 6600K @ 4.2GHz

- GTX1070

- 16GB DDR4 Ram

- Z170a Gaming Pro Motherboard

- Samsung 840 Evo @ 256Gb

 

I really hope that someone knows some sort of adapter or similar...

Might be a bit meh, but usb3 to usb2 adapters exist. Usually, the USB2 headers are at the bottom of the board. You'd lose the speed, but keep the functionality. I only hook up USB3 harddrives and such to the back anyway. Who knows how crappy the front headers are wired sometimes.

Ahh sweet! That might be the solution that I'm going for! :)

You can get 90 degree adapters or low profile connectors (7mm height) ones. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/21868/cab-1920/USB_30_20-Pin_Internal_Header_Female_to_Male_Adapter_Cable_-_Low_Profile.html
