I have a little problem here. My case has a 20-pin internal USB 3.0 header. My motherboard has a 19-pin USB 3.0 connector. Will this be able to be plugged in or do I need a 19 to 20 pin adapter? If so, where do I get one?

Just plug it in, there is no adapter. One pin one on the end may not be there? ...don't worry about it. Just be sure to plug in correctly, noting the tab and slot on the side.

Below is the pin breakdown, from Intel(link). So technically it's nothing, but is(?) wired on some cables(as you have). Who knows why? Ease of manufacture I quess, prob have to have the plug press full of wire on some rapid fire, multi-function jig... over in China. But that's just a guess...
