USB 3.1 Card

[indexikki]

Simple question: can I hook this card

to this motherboard? 

https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-B350-F-GAMING/

 

in other words, that strix motherboard only has Type A, it doesn't have Type C

so can I buy a PCIe card with Type C and connect to this motherboard or do I need a board that comes with type c? 

 

 

cheers

You can connect that card to that motherboard, yes. 

 

But I'm not sure I understand the second bit of your question.

Yes and yes

 

that is the exact purpose of these add-in cards.

I'm sorry I was in rush when typing this. 

the strix board only comes with type A usb. the asus motherboard that comes with type A and Type C USB connectors is $250 (Hero) so i thought i'd buy a cheaper board + type c card.

There's two motherboards? Why didn't you mention that in the opening/first post?

thank you, I thought since it doesn't have type C, it might not "support" type C even through third party card.

sorry about that. 

Strix does not have type c

Hero does have type c

strix costs $100 less than hero

third party type c card costs $25 

so i figured it was a good idea lol
