Asus is example for this question. I'm seeing USB 3.2 gen 2x2 front panel connectors on newly available Asus z790 motherboards.
When I look for an Asus case, even the new ones like GT502 do not have the gen 2 x2 speed doubling: ie they have only a listed USB 3.2 gen 2 which is 10gbps, not 3.2 gen2x2 like the motherboards they release now.
This forces everyone to buy 2 cases to purchase a new system to get the potential of the motherboard. Once at the present time to obtain a usable computer system, and once all over again to get a gen 2x2 on the front.
Is this correct, or does gen 2 on the case also include upscaling to gen2x2 (20 gbps)?
This is a worse situation than you think because if I'm correct, you would have to buy a second case, undo and drain all the water cooling etc and uncable all parts and place them in a new case, simply to get the gen2x2 20gbps on front panel, since manufacturers don't seem to be releasing cases with it.
