Hello, my a97 r2.0 mobo is lacking somewhere to plug this in for the front USB ports on my case. Is it possible that I swap the front USB ports for USB 2.0 from my spare case? Is it possible to disassemble that or is it all welded together? What would be a solution to get front USB ports on my case to work?

Thanks.

Most of us would stick a piece of tape over the unused ports, and add in a few new ports in a drive-bay-thingy.

Alternately, You could buy a PCI/PCIe USB 3.0 board that would give You the right connectors.

Just a weird question, why do you want to downgrade from USB 3.0 to 2.0 anyways? :O

At first I didn't know that there was such thing as a 19 to 9 pin USB adapter. I have nowhere to plug the 19 pin onto my current mobo, restricting me from using the front USB ports on my case. I thought I was going to just swap the ports out to older ones, but the adapter solved the problem, and I don't have to downgrade.
