NZXT case upgrade

Hello all

Looking to pick some of your brains.

I am looking to change my current be quiet 600 case to an NZXT H510 Flow at some point in the near future however there are a couple of things to note.

When i put all my parts into ************, there are these notes 'A USB 2.0 to USB 3.2 Gen 1 header adapter is required.' and ' A USB 3.2 Gen 1 to USB 3.2 Gen 2 header adapter is required.'

I am a newbie to the pc world so is this something that wouldnt work or is something that is just a case of plugging some extra wires in.

Case: NZXT H510 Flow
Mobo: Asus h110 plus

Basically your motherboard doesnt have the correct ports for the front ports on the Nxzt case to work.

It means your motherboard needs adapters to get the front usb 3.2 gen c to work from your motherboard .

Would this case still work though as long as I got adaptors ?

Yes The case would still work just need adapters or a usb type c card to get the front port to work.

The other front usb ports should just plug in as normal.

Usb ports
Type A are the normal size usb ports.
Type c are the smaller usb ports newer standard.
