What cable for USB 3.2X2 motherboard header?

[philb2]

I just got an ASUS ROG X670 Strix-EA, which has a motherboard header for USB 3.2 x 2 Type C Front Panel Connector. This is a new one for me, and I can't find a web site where I can buy this cable.

Is there an adapter which would allow me to plug in this new cable to existing USB ports that use a 19-pin header? The idea here is that I will not need to use a PCIE card to provide a 19-pin header, and that would free up a much needed slot on this new motherboard.

Yes there is, I'll edit with an Amazon link when I find it

EZDIY-FAB USB 3.0 (3.1 Gen 1) Internal (19-Pin) Header to USB 3.1/3.2 Type-C (20-Pin) A-Key Front Panel Adapter https://a.co/d/a9MibvJ

This and similar all over the place, just use the search terms above. Save money and get a different one, I'm on my phone in the boonies so I couldn't get the cheaper models to load, but you should be able to get it around 8$

Big, big thanks. I had been all over the place doing my own searches, because I didn't know the right keywords, and Amazon search was useless.

Turns out that your suggested item would not fit on my motherboard because the USB 3.2 header is right next to the 24-pin main power header, with almost no space between them. But, but, but, using your recommendation above as a starting point, I found this item: https://www.ebay.com/itm/175520535723 No clearance issues.

Pretty decent price, free shipping (unlike Amazon), and pretty fast delivery. Most of these cables are shipped from China, with delivery 2-3 weeks out or more.

SOLVED.

Yep, that's perfect!

you can adapt the other way too if you ever need to.
