Can I somehow change the front panel usb port connector?
3 minutes ago, Kebogu, said:Oh, sorry. Let me see if these pics clear things up
(First image) is of bluetooth connector, instructions tell me it goes in (second image) "jusb" pins. Thing is, my front panel usb connector (third image) needs to go there to work. What kind of options are available to me so i can use my new card+keep my usb port? (You mentioned something about adaptors, if that would help me, please tell me more about that)
The options you have right now are:
1. Get an internal USB header hub. NZXT has one here
2. Return the adaptor and purchase a full PCIe WiFi/bluetooth card. It does seem like a lot of them require a USB connection for the Bluetooth though. You could go for a PCIe WiFi adaptor and a separate USB Bluetooth dongle.
3. Buy a new motherboard with more internal headers (obviously not an ideal solution). I'm a bit surprised at MSI only including a single USB 2.0 header, even on a B150 board.
Probably the best solution is to use an adaptor from the USB 3.1 Gen1 header to turn it into a USB 2.0 header and use that. Would only work if you're not using the 3.1 Gen1 header though.
