Wrong usb headers /ports

[Vanze]

So, my build is an older generation and my motherboard only has usb 2.0 and my case is new bur has usb 3.0. I want to be able to use my case usb ports, so is there a way to convert case usb 3.0 to a motherboard usb 2.0 with some kind of adapder or something?

Yes, there is. Just google  "usb 3 to usb 2 adapter"  or "usb 2 to usb 3 adapter" (also replace adapter with header) , you can easily find them in stores or on eBay.

 

Here's the first example when searching eBay : http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-2-0-9Pin-Motherboard-Female-to-USB-3-0-20Pin-Header-Male-Adapter-Cable-Cord-/152637081490

This would give you actual USB 3.0 speeds,

ORICO Monster USB 3.0 PCI - Express Card with 5 Rear USB 3.0 Ports and 1x Internal USB 3.0 20-PIN Connector Controller Adapter Card (PVU3-502I)

This would be a better solution...
