I am building a new system and have had great comments, thank you!
I have an issue with USB ports that I need help understanding. I have purchased an i9-12900K processor and a Cool Master NR600P case. The Case has an I/O Panel with two USB Ports (1xUSB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C and 2xUSB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A). While trying to purchase an ASUS motherboard during Cyber Monday, I could not convenience myself that everything would work. Most of the motherboards I am researching use USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port (1 x USB Type-C®) and USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports (2 x Type-A). I have asked the case manufacture if there are other options on the I/O Panel, but no answers yet.
I have tried to locate suppliers where I can purchase later generation ports to install, but not able to determine where to get these parts. Also, I am not sure how easy it is to replace a port in a case. I am trying to research the difference, and so far it appears the difference in the ports (other than color and shape) is the gage of wires. This makes me think that I may be able to change our wires and that may successfully upgrade the ports. I prefer to replace the ports with new later generation ports that are compatible if that is possible.
Can anyone provide a good solution?
