Anyone know where the Gigabyte AX370 motherboard's optional usb 2.0/1.1 brackets are available from? I asked Gigabyte a few months ago but got no response.
They are mentioned in the board manual it says to contact your local dealer to purchase them.

I'm only interested in the official Gigabyte bracket or a clone if that isn't available.

Which AX370 board is it?

Looks like most of them have 2x USB2.0 headers and 2x USB3.0 headers on the motherboard, so you could likely use something like:

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £15.65 (includes shipping: £8.70)​
​

To add 2 more usb 3.0 ports to the rear.

You aren't limited to only Gigabyte brackets, and there are also options to add additional front usb ports through drive bay options using the same headers e.g.

Thanks no I have USB 3 in abundance. This is for USB 2.0/1.0

I see - apologies.

I take it there's no Legacy option in the BIOS to force the USB3 controller to run in a different mode?


OcUK don't unfortunately sell USB2.0 rear brackets, but do sell similar products so can't link, but a quick google for "USB 2.0 Bracket" shows they are available for a couple of quid.

If your case has USB3.0 ports though, you could use the below adapter to connect them to a USB2.0 header:

Appeciate that, I actually have an identical looking adapter it doesn't help. I already tried plugging it into the USB 2.0 headers. I'm not interested in work arounds (that don't work any way).

I only want to know where to get the official Gigabyte adapter
