Question PcPartpicker saying I'll need USB Adapter ?

[HippeusOmega]

So I have a Asus X570 Tuf Gaming Plus wifi board and it's saying I need A USB 2.0 to USB 3.2 Gen 1 header adapter is required and a A USB 3.2 Gen 1 to USB 3.2 Gen 2 header adapter is required for my new Corsair 4000D airflow case. Right now I left the USB cords unplugged in my new case but according to my Motherboard manual it has a 3.2 Gen 1 support. Is it talking about the fact i'd need these adapters to plug in the extra USB c type that's in the front?

Yes, for front of the case to connect to the appropriate headers on the MB.

Yes for front of the case to connect to appropriate headers ob the MB.

So I'd be able to make use of the single usb 3.0 port on the front panel with my current setup but not the usb-c without the adapters correct?

Yes, everything in the front of case has to be connected to MB. Check MB manual to see which ones are on it. USB 3.0 should be standard connector. You can see different USB headers here

What are USB Headers? 2.0 vs 3.0 vs 3.1 vs 3.2 Headers

Understanding the different headers can be daunting if you are new to PC building. A motherboard typically has several headers (connectors) for connecting

As far as i can tell, you need either 1 or 2 adapters, depending on what you want to do.

If you want to use only type-C port on your PC case, then you need:
* internal USB 3.0 to internal USB type-C header; amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08TW9S7B3

But if you want to use type-A and type-C ports, then you need:
1. internal USB 3.0 Y-splitter; amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CGL4K96/
2. internal USB 3.0 to internal USB type-C header; amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08TW9S7B3
