Addition internal USB ports?

chiller2333 · Jun 15, 2016

I recently purchased the Z170 MSI Titanium motherboard and realized during installation there wasn't enough USB connectors to plug in every port. Currently there are only 2 which I plugged my Corsair H100i GTX and H1000i PSU into for Corsair Link. This however leaves the front USB on my case useless. Also, the motherboard doesn't have a 3.0 connector either and only 3.1. Thoughts on finding or adding in more?

MSI says:
7x USB 3.1 Gen1 (SuperSpeed USB) ports (4 ports on the back panel, 1 internal port, 2 ports available through the internal USB connector)
7x USB 2.0 (High-speed USB) ports (3 ports on the back panel, 4 ports available through the internal USB connectors)
2 x USB 3.1 Gen2 (SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps) ports on the back panel
And that's not enougth ?

Sorry, I need more of the internal USB connectors. Make sense? More of the connectors to plug my front panel USB hubs into on the inside.

Interesting case with more then 4 front usb2.0 and 2 usb3.x ports.

Are you trolling lol?

The Corsair H100i GTX has a USB that needs to be plugged up to the motherboard through the internal connector. So does the Corsair H1000i PSU. The board only comes with two internal motherboard pin slots. Thus I have to use those two for the Corsair items. This leaves 2 USB 2.0 and 2 USB 3.0 without slots to plug into the motherboard to be able to use the front panel. I am trying to find internal addition USB pin slots. Not the connections that you would plug an actual USB drive too.

Well, sounds liek we ar on different planets here. The manual shows enougth internal connectors for the Corsair devices and the front panel. JUSB1 = two ports, JUSB2 = two ports, JUSB3 = more ports

I see what you are saying. The JUSB3 is a 3.1 connector. I didn't try plugging the USB front panel to it. Didn't think it would work. Still no 3.0 front panel connector though

3.1 is compatible. It will work until the calbe fits.
