Looking for something that can do this?
I have an ASUS Z270i MB which has a Gen 2 header and needs to eventually end at a 2.0 header for NZXT Hue+. I don't need to worry about speeds as its simply for the Hue+ .
If anyone has a simple solution other than USB 3.0 header adapters, that would be appreciated. I'd like to be able to use the 3.0 header for a front panel.

I haven't seen this product in stock in many stores in the US and Europe even though they have a product page up. It was recently announced during CES 2017 so it is possible that right now it's still not fully released into the market...

oh awesome! do you know where I can pickup one of the Lian-Li cables? I was reading that forum and found that they do orders via email but the wait times are kind of long and need it asap.

From caseking, they put a date of 26th may for receiving stock:
