[SOLVED] Not enough type c usb 3.2 gen 2 ports.

[zeus..]

Hi, I would like to build a pc with the Asus Rog Strix B550-f WiFi motherboard and the case being the Corsair 4000d airflow. When I listed them in Pcpartpicker.com, it said that the motherboard does not have sufficient 3.2 gen 2 or gen 1 headers so the case usb 3.2 gen 2 type C port will not be usable. How do I fix this? But I don't want to change the motherboard or the case. Please somebody help.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

I just looked through the manuals for both the case and the motherboard, you're going to have to change the case or the motherboard. No going around this one, I'm afraid.

I’ve not used these but I was looking at this problem recently. I found 2 options.

First is using this type of adapter which will limit the USB speed to 3.0 but allows you to use a USB 3.0 header https://www.amazon.co.uk/LINKUP-Int...hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4584482461513569&psc=1

Second is a pcie card with the type C header. These look to be expensive, not all as expensive as this one but it’s the first example I found https://www.amazon.co.uk/SilverSton....1&qid=1625505036&sprefix=pcie+usb+c+&sr=8-28

Hey sizzling, may I know if this would work
https://www.amazon.com/Female-Exten...henyang+cy+3.0+adapter&qid=1625588703&sr=8-14 as the other one won't ship to my country.

No, that’s just a 90 degree adapter for USB 3.0 header. On the one I linked had that smaller socket with a metal surround, that’s the socket needed for a USB-C header.
