Can I get a USB 2 to USB 3 adapter?

[Guest]

I have an MSI 760GM P23 FX Motherboard. It has USB 2.0 front headers. I am getting the Corsair Spec 01 which has a front USB 3.0 port and a USB 2.0 port. What can I do to use the USB ports at the front?

Many thanks,
AKNerd

You mean this adapter USB 3.0 to 2.0 header:

They are around.

Alternatively, you might be able to buy a USB 3.0 PCI card and run the front headers at USB 3.0 speeds.

If I'm not mistaken many USB3 cases come with adapters. I believe I saw a review of the Spec 01 that had a matte black one to match the system.

It may be worth double checking.
