[SOLVED] Is there a way to add a USB 2.0 header to a motherboard that doesn't have one?

[parcel98]

Hello everyone,
I'm building a new PC, and I ordered a new b550 Tomahawk motherboard with internal usb 3.2 gen 1 and gen 2 headers. However, I just realized that I might need to use a usb 2.0 header as well. The problem is that the b550 Tomahawk doesn't have one.

Does anyone know if there's a way to add a usb 2.0 header through a different connector? Like maybe a PICe card or something?

I saw these, but I need to use my USB 3.0 header. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

Your board has 2x USB 2.0 headers onboard.

6x USB 2.0 ports (2 Type-A ports on the back panel, 4 ports through the internal USB 2.0 connectors)

Wow, I feel like an idiot. I'm not sure how I missed that. I even see the connectors on the pictures.

Thanks
