USB question

Go to solution Solved by GoodBytes,

Well some motherboards uses a dedicated power circuit for one or set of USB ports, which does deliver the USB power needed to recharge a device quickly.

Usually they color the USB port in a different color beside black and blue, like for example red or yellow to mark it apart from the others.

Hey guys, so my PC is right next to my bed and I'd like to use it to charge my phone. I know USB 3.0 still doesn't push enough juice compared to a wall charger but I was wondering if there is any way to get around this? Galaxy s5, Meshify C,  Strix Z370 E. For a complete build list see my profile. Thanx, any help is much appreciated.
