ITX Board for 3600

kingteeb · 8 Jul 2020 at 10:55

I have a case with a front panel USB C, was looking at getting a b550 to future proof, but none of the cheaper ones seem to have an internal USB C header. Is it possible to adapt a standard header, or is that insane?

Just wanting to get a reasonable board for my build and trying not to spend more than the actual cost of my CPU!!

The 4 B450 Mini ITX board that OCUK stock dont have them natively.

It is possible to adapt the USB 3.0 motherboard header.

Yes you can convert a usb 3 internal header to usb c. Google 'internal usb to usb c' to see your options

Is there any drawback to doing it this way?

Well unless Im wrong of course, you are converting your front header for USB-C but looks like youre then going to miss out on any USB 3s in your front header if you do that?

The only one that has a header is a dtx x570 from asus. You will need to check if you case is compatibility for the dtx standard.
