What is Reddit's opinion of LINKUP - USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 20Gbps USB-C Type Internal Panel Cable Mount Motherboard Header Extension Adapter┃20-Pin A-Key Male with Cover to USB-C Female Connector with PCI Bracket - 40cm?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I'm also interested in usb 3.2 gen2 front panel connectors.

I also look for short cables, but shourtest that I can found is 40cm! https://www.amazon.com/LINKUP-Motherboard-Extension-Key-Connector/dp/B07THC8ZVF/ref=sr\_1\_6?crid=15H3TN61S0U3R&keywords=usb%2B3.2%2Bgen%2B2%2Btype-c%C2%AE%2Bfront%2Bpanel%2Bconnector&qid=1667922060&sprefix=%2Caps%2C289&sr=8-6&...

Looks like that motherboard only supports USB-C via the front panel connector (near the bottom right of your motherboard).

If your case doesn’t have a front USB-C port, there’s adaptors to use the internal port externally like this https://www.amazon.com.au/LINKUP-Motherboard-Extension-Internal-Connector/dp/B07THC8ZVF

NOTE: that’s just the first result I found, I have no idea if that one specifically is a good price or good product.

i found this on amazon and bought it. ill update if it can do 20gbps... (i do have a T7 on me) if i dont forget. feel free to ask or dm me as a reminder lol

What are you plugging into the front panel to test? Does that device work on another PC?

If the BIOS settings are good and there isn't a problem with the USB devices in device manager, try cleaning the contacts. In your picture it almost looks like there is a clear plastic cap over the contacts but it's probably just the picture.

If that fails you could try connecting this to see if it works.

If it does then the front panel is bad if it doesn't then it's the port on the mobo or the device you've been plugging into it is bad.

Or this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07THC8ZVF/ref=ox\_sc\_saved\_title\_9?smid=A1EA54VWB150Z7&psc=1

I'll have to take a look once I get the thing in. I was also possibly considering 3D printing a new front IO panel once I had the thing available to look at and basically replacing the whole front IO outright.

finding all the headers is looking to be annoying, but I just found this:
https://www.amazon.com/Female-Screw-Panel-Mount-Motherboard/dp/B010NBLRHK/ref=sr_1_30?crid=1L0TTNIQS6MG4&keywords=front%2Bpanel%2Busb%2Ba%2Bfemale&qid=1666118460&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIxLjcyIiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=front%2Bpanel%2Busb%2Ba%2Bfemale%2Caps%2C105&sr=8-30&th=1

I don't have a USB 3.1 header on me right now, but does this split a port into two ports, USB hub style? Because a print panel with like four USB A a full 20Gbps USB C, separate headphone and mic and a power button seems like a nice loadout.

yeah, so, my current plan is to figure out how to remove one of the USB 3.0 ports on the front, and use the space to stick in something like this: https://www.amazon.com/LINKUP-Motherboard-Extension-Internal-Connector/dp/B07THC8ZVF/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1E5BGHIIJSGHG&keywords=USB+3.2+2x2+header+to+Usb+c+female&qid=1666095806&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIxLjU2IiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=usb+3.2+2x2+header+to+usb+c+female%2Caps%2C84&sr=8-3

Yes, unfortunately you have run into the confusing world of USB standards.

What you have is a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Header on your motherboard. Your case has a connector for USB 3.1 Gen 2. The 4000D was released before USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 ever existed so you can't fault it for not coming with the right cable.

As far as I know the two ports are incompatible. The 3.2 Gen 2x2 is much faster though and if you have it you should use it. You can pick up a port for it here that will give you access in the rear. And then you can pick up one of these pcie adapters that you can connect the usb port on your case to so it doesn't go unused.

You'll end up spending an extra $50 to get them both working unfortunately.
