myfole USB Type-C to 9-Pin Motherboard Header Adapter Cable, 90-Degree Angle, 24AWG Braided Extension, 2 Feet
Hello, I have the case Fractal Design Define 7XL and my mobo does not have the usb 3.1 gen2 port
so I want to buy a pci express card in order to use the usbc port in the front panel of the case.
I need to use the port with my oneplus usbc DAC cable (this one amazon.co.uk/dp/B07PFT2HNP) for my headphones.
I found 3 solutions (I would like to solve the problem with the minimum expense):
-
this simple adapter usb2.0 9pin to usb 3.2 Gen1 amazon.com/dp/B09MYVJX4C
-
this card usb3.0 Type-E amazon.com/dp/B09YL8XG5D
-
this card usb3.1 Gen2 amazon.com/dp/B0B156WMGC (this could be the perfect compatibility but the less cheap)
I have some doubts:
-
What are the downside (in terms of lost features of the oneplus DAC cable) of having a usb2.0 9pin connected to a usb 3.0 gen2 using that adapter? Is the cable properly powered? Do I lose some feature of the cable in your opinion?
-
If I use the card usb3.0 Type-E, there could be incompatibilities or losing features of the cable?
-
is the latest usb3.1 Gen2 card the perfect one in terms of compatibility? (I have a pci-e 1x in my MOBO MSI M5 Z170A where to plug the card in)
What do you think about these 3 solutions? Do you have suggestions?

Possibly yes. That IDC connector is basically just the same electrical connections but just in a compact connector for motherboard connection use. Just look at this image taken from this Amazon listing for a, StarTech USB A to USB Motherboard 4-Pin Header F/F 2.0 Cable, 6" (USBMBADAPT):
Note the exposed wires as well as the text on the motherboard header connector. That’s your big clue! So basically if you wanted to clip off the connectors on your device and wire them to a male USB that could be done as long as you match data and power wires correctly.
And if you are afraid of doing that yourself, you could purchase this: “Adapter Cable, USB 2.0, IDC 5 Male (single row) to USB A Male”:
And as the description for the product states:
Used to connect devices designed to plug into USB motherboard header pins to an external USB 2.0 connector
That’s actually a neat tool because you can now use the device as you wish without having to mangle the cable; just plug the female IDC connector into the male IDC connector and bingo! You have a USB device.
But since your device has 10 connectors you would need two of those cables to make that reader fully work. It could be that one connector has certain media reader slots and the other handles others; so maybe scoring one cable and experimenting might be the way to go.
EDIT: An addition, but here is a cool image of how someone was able to use one of those male male IDC motherboard header connector cables to connect to a USB flash drive with a broken connector. This shows clearly what all 5 connectors are: 2 are data, 2 are power and 1 is for the grounding/shielding.
Just for anyone looking for a way to do it:
Thanks to
I managed to get the cables right. As soon as I plugged windows started installing various generic drivers... YAY!!! Here's what I got:
But now Usb doesn't work and I cannot find the right slot for Mini Usb....
LIAN li lcd ga ii sl-inf shipped with out the cable to connect screen pump to motherboard. Plan is to try to file a claim but they’re out of the office until the 15th. Shopped around and couldn’t find it. Figured if anyone knew y’all did.
I have a NZXT H510 case and a MSI B450 Tomahawk Max motherboard.
The cases front I/O ports are:
1 x USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C
1 x USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A
The motherboards connectors are:
2 x USB 2.0
1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1
I have connected the cases Gen 1 port to the mobos Gen 1 connector, and I have nothing to connect the cases Gen 2 port to. Therefore I would like to add an adapter from the cases Gen 2 port to one of the mobos USB 2.0 connectors. But I can't find any such adapter anywhere.
I have considered combining a "9pin female to 20pin male" with a "20pin female to 20pin mini male".
Does anyone have any suggestions?
