[SOLVED] USB 3.2 Gen 1 to USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C

[DerpyJ]

Hey there.

I've been looking into upgrading to an NZXT H510 Elite from my Phanteks Enthoo Pro, but I don't believe my MSI B450 Gaming Plus mobo has a connector for type C. Is there a way I can connect the gen 2 to the gen 1 via a header or something? Thanks!

If you have an extra 19/20 pin usb header on your motherboard then yes, that will do.

If not get a PCIe to USB card something like;

Then get something like this;

I just went through the same issue on my 500H.

Alright, thanks! I'll look into the adapters you mentioned.
