Does this exist.

jaylob4 · Nov 13, 2024

I'm looking for a particular expansion card, see image, it's close but not what I'm after.

Must have 2 x rear USB 3, 1 x Molex/Sata connector, 1 x Type E and 1 x USB 19/20 pin connector.

I'm happy to forgo the USB 3.2 type C.

I have been looking, can't find one, does such a card exist?

That appears to be the same card as in the OP's post.

It gets its power from the PCI-E slot. The OP offers no explanation as to why an auxiliary power connector is wanted. (High device charging power?)

Almost but not quite, it's the same one in my image, I'm looking for a card that has 2 x USB3s at the back, as I wrote I'm prepared to forgo the USB C port.

Yes.

I have looked maybe such a card doesn't exist.

Plan B.

Does a rigid, ( not cable ), Y splitter USB 19/20 pin connector exist, again can't find one?

@jaylob4

You're asking for very specific, cards, adapters, etc.
Maybe there's a better way to do, whatever it is you;'re trying to do?

It would help us to help you to know WHY you want such specific cards, adapters, etc.

We can't suggest what might be a better solution if we don't know the WHY and/or the WHAT..

This is an example of what I'm talking about... IF you case has a 5.25" Optical drive bay, there's things like this...

Amazon.com

Or maybe you could use a card or bay device, and then use adapters to get the inputs you need/want?
There's always more than one way to skin a cat.
If we knew WHAT you're trying to accomplish... there's probably someone with the same or similar wants, that has already figured out a way to do it.

Something a bit easier than saying: "Find me one of these".

You thoughtfully listed your motherboard in your specs, so we can look that up.
It would help to know what case you have, or at least a few pics of your case.
And if you tell us what you're trying to connect to the computer... we may have other suggestions.

I'm sorry I'm not explaining this more clearly, but it's almost 4:30am here.

You have explained yourself and well.

In being brief in my enquiry I am trying to avoid the several methods available to skinning a cat and members having to explain them.

Your links are all front ports, I don't want front ports, I have enough front ports that does me.

However one of my front ports has USB C, the cable from it does not have a place on my MB to connect it directly.

The PCIe card in my image does as does the links in @Catnip and @bobkn, we all three are linking to the same card.

It would do the job but I am hoping to find a card that has 2 x USB3 ports on it, an E type connector and a USB 19/20 pin connector.

My reason for a molex/sata connector is--while the card would get it's power off the MB, I'm not sure MB would cope with demands of using the front USB C and rear USB 3 ports in use at the same time, I might be wrong on this.

Nonetheless, the card in the links above would do but prefer the same but with 2 x USB 3 ports not 1 and am happy to not have the rear USB C port.

As for a photo of my PC, I have been asked for it several times but it is not necessary to answer my question but here it is anyway.

Why the 19/20 pin header? Your motherboard already has one. You may not need a second one.

If you can't find a similar card with two USB Type A sockets, I suggest using a Type A to Type C adapter. They're tiny, passive, and I've used one to good effect.

The card is PCI-E X4. It'd need to go in one of the X16 slots of your MB, as it has no slots that are at the X4 length. (The #2 X16 slot is wired as X4, so it'd work OK. The X16 slot for a GPU should also work.) I had to check: X4 cards are limited to 25W. That's not asking a lot from the MB.

I haven't used such a card, but it looks like a good choice. Newegg doesn't have many reviews for it, but the most (slightly) negative one was disappointed that it didn't provide much charging power through its rear Type C port.

It's in use.

Terse.

jaylob4 · Nov 14, 2024

bobkn said:
Sorry, I don't follow.

Do you need more than one?

Yes the one on my MB is in use, it has only one.

bobkn · Nov 14, 2024

jaylob4 said:

There you are, then.

I needed a second 20 pin header as well, for my most recent build. I cheaped out with a USB 2.0 adapter. Two of my front panel ports are limited to USB 2 speeds, but the other two are USB 3. (I never need 4. I was too compulsive to keep two disconnected, though.)

But if you're putting in an add-in card, you may as well get one with the second header, and get the full USB 3 speeds.

I did a quick online search. I failed to find a better card than the one in your first post. Congrats on your hunting skills.

I hope your cables are long enough, although you can always get extenders.

I'm not understanding you--once again.

Do you know if such a card I was enquiring about exists?

Sorry. You've somehow managed to quote a post that I thought I'd eliminated.

Cable length is probably not an issue with the accessory front panel ports you're using.

(The cables for the front panel ports built into the case may be aimed at motherboard headers, which are commonly positioned near the edge of the motherboard that is near the front of the case. Not a concern for you.)

No, I don't know of an add-in card that meets your listed requirements. I looked, briefly. I even tried MS Copilot, so I could enter a more complex query. Copilot wasn't up to the task.

The one you posted may be as close to your wants as you can find. It doesn't need an auxiliary power connector, and you could use a simple type A to C adapter if you wished to plug two type A cables into the back. Hardly a kludge.

Sorry about the communication issues. I try to be clear, but apparently I've failed, at least with you.

I will try to explain this as best as I can, I'm thinking of an alternative.

If I install this type of expansion card, see image, then connect a molex from the PSU , anything that is then attached to the 19/20 blue connector on the card, will that be powered from the molex or powered off the MB?

I'm not certain, but I'd guess so.

(Here's a link to that card, for those who like such things. Amazon.com)

I take it that you aren't considering this card, as it lacks the USB Type E header for the front USB 3.2 Type C port.

I don't share your concern about powering the card off the motherboard. The card that you show in post #1 consumes a maximum of 25W, if it follows PCI-E X4 pecs.

But it's not my PC.

What I'm thinking is to install the card, connect a Molex to the card, then insert one of these, ( see image ), in to the 19/20 connector on the card and power the front USB C port off of it.

My concern is if I have the rear 2 USB 3 ports and the front USB C port in use at the same time, will they all work?

If blue 19/20 on the card is powered off MB maybe not, I'm not sure, if powered by the molex probably will.

You'd be willing to limit the front USB C port to USB 3 speeds? That wouldn't be terrible, but it'd bug me.

What would you do with the second USB 3 connector? You could connect it to a USB 2 header of the motherboard using an adapter., if you'd be happy with USB 2 speeds.

I have no personal experience with a card of either type. If it was my choice, I'd go with the first card in this thread. But you seem to have fixated on the idea that it might overtax the MB. Even though its power draw is probably less than 25W.

Does this exist.
