Is it possible to plug USB 3 into USB 2 on he motherboard

Ashley93 · Aug 31, 2014

Before I buy a new case for my pc and a lot of them only have USB 3 ports and my motherboard only has USB 2 ports so I was wondering if it was at all possible to plug them in with an adapter or something like that.

Yes, it is possible - here are links to an adapter made by Lian Li:

Yep, you can just use something like this.
One end is a usb 2 connector for your mobo, the other end you plug in the usb 3 connector from your case.
