Hey, i bought a Deepcool Tesseract case with usb 3.0 on it, and a ASrock 990fx extreme3 motherboard with usb 3.0, but the thing is the motherboard has usb3.0 on the back, but doesn't have usb 3.0 input on the motherboard. I don't want to leave the 3.0 usb slots on the case unused, so is there an adaptor?


Something like this?

It seems like you have asked if there is an adapter and then given a picture of one.
Most cases with USB 3.0 ports come with an adapter for motherboards that have a USB 2.0 header.
Did your case not come with an adapter? Are you asking where to buy one?

Oh, i did, didn't i? I wasn't paying attention. The usb 3.0 cable did have a usb 2.0 cable coming out if it, but i thought it is from the 2.0 usb. [case has both 3.0 and 2.0]. Since it has a built-in adaptor, i won't have any problems.

The adapter that you have pictured will convert a USB 3.0 port on the mobo to a USB 2.0 port on the case, not the other way around. You cannot convert USB 2.0 to USB 3.0 with a simple adapter. You'll need a PCIe card for that.
