Case: SHARKOON BW9000-W
Motherboard: ASUS Prime X370-Pro

Full Name:
ASUS Prime X370-Pro AM4 AMD X370 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 USB 3.0 HDMI ATX Motherboards - AMD

The case has USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports and my motherboard had connections for 3.1 and 3.0. I can connect my motherboard ports 3.0 to 3.0, but what should I do with the 3.1 ports? Can I still connect the 3.1 to the 2.0 ports and just get reduced speeds or will I get the 3.1 speeds.

Per a video I watched on newegg the motherboard USB internal connections are for USB 3.0 and USB 3.1. They just didn't mentioned the 2.0. Sorry Everyone
