MSI Z270 Gaming M5 Question

[sata67]

I want to purchase the Gaming m5 z270 motherboard and I own the in win 805 case with front type-c usb 3.1 port.

Will I be able to use the front type-c port with that motherboard? What connector do I need on the motherboard?

Thanks

Currently no case has implemented the new usb 3.1 gen 2 type c internal header on the Z270.
Any cases that currently advertised with usb c on the front panel are currently still connected by the usb 3.0 (usb 3.1 gen 1) 19 pin connector.

I understand, so will that specific motherboard support that usb 3.1 gen 1 port?
Also I wonder does that motherboard have a usb 3.1 gen 2 on the rear?

Yes the Z270 Gaming m5 has 2 usb 3.0 internal headers.
Yes it has 2 usb 3.1 gen 2 ports: one type a and one type c..
