Need more USB 3.x

[GeordieStew]

Morning all

I have an MSI z690 WiFi motherboard. It comes with a couple of USB 3.0 a ports, a USB c port and a USB 3.2 a port.

I need more.

I bought a £20 card 4 port card but windows 10 just doesn't like it. I've downloaded drivers from ssu tech. No good. Getting error 10 in Device Manager. Tried different pci slots.

What are my other options?

Cheers

Which exact board is it?

If it's the Pro Z690-A Wifi, then it also has
2x JUSB3~4: USB 3.2 Gen 1 5Gbps Connector
1x JUSB5: USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C Connector

Depending on which of these you've used with your case's front panel connector, you could just get a Adapter cable that fits to a PCI Slot bracket.

Alternatively, either the Silverstone or Startech PCI-E cards below should work fine, and are from reliable brand names, so shouldn't be a problem unlike your presumably "generic" ssu tech card.

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Akasa USB 3.0 Internal Adapter Cable with PCI bracket (SKU: CB-108-AK) = £7.45
• 1 x Akasa USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type C PCI Slot Plate Adapter (SKU: CB-12Q-AK) = £14.99
• 1 x StarTech 4 Port USB 3.0 PCI Express Card (PEXUSB3S42) (SKU: CC-026-SR) = £32.99
• 1 x Silverstone ECU05 USB 3.1 and USB 3.0 PCIe Expansion Card (SKU: CC-008-SV) = £32.99

Total: £97.12 (includes delivery: £8.70)​
