[SOLVED] Mobo only has one USB 2.0 header but I need THREE

[justjackm8]

Basically my motherboard (ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-I) only has one USB 2.0 header which already has a splitter connected to it for the front panel and AIO. However I just upgraded to a Corsair H100i Elite LCD as the Kraken X53 did not fit the mobo properly, but this AIO has TWO USB 2.0 cables which both need to be plugged in for the LCD screen to operate, meaning I now need three USB 2.0 headers. I'm already using a splitter on the one header I have (I'm assuming you can't put three into one?) and I only have one USB 3.0 which is already being used for the front panel, plus I only have one PCIe slot so can't use an expansion card.

Any ideas on how I can get that extra USB 2.0 header?

Use USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 adapter.

Or, perhaps a wavlink powered usb3.0 hub like this:

Does that NZXT internal USB hub literally just connect to the one USB 2.0 header on my mobo and bang I get 4 working USB 2.0 headers?

Well it needs a sata power connector from the psu but yes.
