Are USB 3.0 headers backwards compatible?
No, most mother boards with USB 3.0 headers will also have USB 2.0 headers or the 3.0 will be backwards compatible. Either way, you should be able to utilize the front panel USB on the case.
How many pins does a USB 3.0 header have?
the 3rd USB 3.0 has its own seperate 19-pin USB connector to plug into the Mobo.
Can USB 2.0 Connect to 3.0 header?
Yes, USB 3.0 backwards is compatible—meaning it’s designed to work with older USB versions including USB 2.0 and USB 1.1. You can plug a USB 2.0 device into a USB 3.0 port and it will always work, but it will only run at the speed of the USB 2.0 technology.
Will my case USB 3.0 header fit into USB 3.2 motherboard header?
Are the “USB 3.2 Gen 1 5 Gbps connector” and “two USB 3.0 fronts ports” for Type A connectors? If so, that’s where they’ll be connected. Same deal for the Type Cs though, a 3.0 can plug into a 3.2 header but you’ll only get 3.0 performance out of it.

0 ports, so your one USB2. 0 header is all you need. Same goes with USB3.
What is a Type-C 20-pin adapter?
This compact adapter adds one USB 3.1 Type-C internal 20-pin connector to your PC’s existing motherboard by converting an unused 19-pin Type-A motherboard header to the newer standard. This allows PC owners to take advantage of new high-end PC cases that feature an external USB 3.1/3.2 Type-C port.
What is the difference between a 19 pin and 20 pin?
I got the 19 pin from that PCI card, that black square on the card is a 19 pin connection thingy. But the cable coming from my case is a 20 pin (20 small squares) for USB 3, originally meant to connect to the motherboard I believe.
How many USB ports can you have on a Y cable?
In other words one usb3 port on one connector of the y cable and one usb3 port on the other. Or two on one side and none on the other, which defeats the purpose. 🙂 I had two devices with two ports on each one and it wouldn’t work.
