Hi guys!So I was trying to build my first PC and everything was going really well. Actually I built it! I just wanted to mess with the cables to have a better cable management. Any way I unplugged my USB 3.0 cable from the USB 3.0 port on the motherboard and routed the cable the way I wanted and when I plugged the cable back to the USB 3.0 port on the motherboard I wasn't able to plug it so I pushed it hard but accidentally broke the pins on the USB 3.0 port on the motherboard and some pins were badly bent actually some fell down. Help! Please guys I need some help if there is an adapter that I can use or something else please link it .I actually saw some kind people saying that I can use this adapter Inateck PCI-E to USB 3.0 5-Port PCI Express Card and 15-Pin Power Connector. This is the link https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FPIMJEW/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1474141136&sr=8-3&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=inateck+20+pin&dpPl=1&dpID=517We2KgceL&ref=plSrch . But Can I use my 3.0 ports on my case?There is 2 USB 3.0 ports on the front of my case and 2 more USB 3.0 ports on the back of the case and there is 2 more USB 2.0 ports on the back too. But I want all my case USB ports to function properly. Even if all USB ports will become 2.0 ports not 3.0. Please guys I need some help.Link me a product if that will fix my problem. Please leave a link and your Email to easily contact each other. PLEASE HELP ME GUYS! Thanks

You can put a PCIe USB3 adapter or you can use USB2 to USB3 adapter but than you would get only USB2 speeds out of it.

The port will run 2x case USB 3 ports .
Had speeds of up to 160mbs on a portable usb3 drive - generally 90-140mbs though depending on amount if small files etc.
So yes it works perfectly , I've filled a 2tb external drive copying from internal in under 2 hours in the past.

Dude seriously.
I have a motherboard that only has usb3 on the rear & has no USB 3 headers.
My case (a Silverstone gd06) ONLY has USB 3 ports on the front.
I bought the anker card because my pcvia in an under TV cabinet & I have no access to the ports on the back without unplugging everything.
The anker card plugged into those front ports ia the only connection I use for portable hard & flash drives.
I plug & unplug drives a lot - this ia a htpc for video etc after all.
Not had a single issue in the 2 years + it's been in there.
Is it better than the inateck ?? No idea never heard of them .
The anker is tiny though , works perfectly & I have no hesitation in recommending it at all.
