Hey People,

Does anyone know where and if you can get a USB 3.1 header to 3.0 header adapter/converter i cant seem to find some anywhere.

Thanks everyone

I'm looking for one too - They don't seem to be available yet. In fact, the only thing I can find on the internet is: http://www.lian-li.com/en/dt_portfolio/pw-ic2dah85/

which is not fully released yet!

Blimey well we will both keep a look out and I'll update when I find one I have emailed Asus and will let you know when they come back to me with an answer

Does anyone know if these would work as a temp fix before they release the Converter https://www.moddiy.com/products/20%...CurrencyId=6&gclid=COL8rq_G7tICFfMW0wod1NEPWw

No buddy, that's just a usb3.0 header splitter, we need this:

Oh yeah I realise that was just saying that I could use that for the time being until they get a convertor as I have two USB 3.0 connectors

HoneyBadger · 25 Mar 2017 at 13:47

Ahhh sorry, my bad.

Lee French · 25 Mar 2017 at 13:50

No its all good you wasn't to know. I wasn't exactly clear. I have two USB 3.0 connectors from my case so for the time being was gonna use that. as no one makes them yet I have emailed lian-li and thermaltake as they produce them for the cases so asked if they had made a converter yet we shall see

HoneyBadger · 22 Apr 2017 at 18:55

Did you ever get a reply?

Lee French · 22 Apr 2017 at 19:34

Sorry yes I did and I got an outstanding no we don't make them from everyone. I am still hunting everyday. have you had any luck?

I'm after a cable with this 3.1 header too, except on the other end I want a PCIe slot bracket so that I can have a USB-C port at the rear of my case.

There are a bunch of mobos with this header in the wild now. I don't understand why no-one is making anything useful for it :mad:

Because it's a brand new header and so news cases plus adaptors to use current case ports will take time to arrive.

Was about to look this up myself... might just get a splitter for the time being or try something adventurous wiring wise.

Lee French · 25 Apr 2017 at 11:46

If you do the adventurous way Smffy let me know how you went about it because i cant even get hold of the connector let alone a wiring diagram of the pins, bar buying something with the connector on and then just splicing into it

Hello

Thank you for your mail! We would have USB3.1 20pin converter available in Europe around Jul.

Have a nice day!

Just received this from lian-li so fingers crossed it's on its way

Nice one!

A few available here as part of front panel conversion kit (with laser cut brushed aluminium front panel, some screws and clips and a push switch to adapt to any PC case). To fit the unit the case is cut using a supplied template and then the laser cut panel that carries the Lan Li part and the switch hides the rough cuts.
