This one has an USB2.0 header, am trying to find one with a USB3.0 header.

The USB 3 header on my Asus P8Z68-V Pro motherboard has 19 pins. I have no idea whether that's standard.

The 19 (19 active and 1 blank) pin is the standard developed by Intel and has 2 USB 3.0 ports.

Am searching for such an USB expansion card but I can't seem to find any with a 9-Pin USB header connector, do such cards exist?
Could somebody point me to such if they do exist?

Would you mind saying why you need such a header?

The PCIe card will show up in Device manager as a USB Controller and I cannot imagine why you would want to plug it into the MB, maybe I miss-understand you.

I'll use it to connect my USB Ports located in the front of the casing

Are you sure it is USB 3.0. It looks standard for a USB 2 with two ports. What case is it for?

That was my point, not that I expressed it directly. yowanvista seems to want to get USB3 through a USB2 connection. I thought that might not be possible, but I wasn't prepared to do the checking to verify that. (USB3 sockets are supposed to be backwards compatible with USB2 devices, but I assumed that the extra conductors weren't all grounds.)

USB 3 jack has the same connectors as USB 2 but the jack has additional connects for USB 3. Two different interfaces in the same cable. Pins 1-4 on a USB 3 plug is for USB 2 and is the same on a USB 2 plug.



As far as I know the only internal USB 3 plug on a motherboard is the 19 pin for two ports. It is the only one I am aware of that meets USB 3.0 specs.
