I was speccing out a future build in the M1 and noticed the revised V6 front io. It all seemed fine until I realised that the Type-E motherboard header (for USB-C) needed was not on my board (MSI B450i Gaming Plus AC). I thought I could then just get a Type-E to USB 3.1 Gen1 adapter (as the motherboard has that header) before realising that the single USB 3.1 connector would be taken up by the 2 USB 3.0 ports on the front IO.
So now I'm stuck. No other AMD B450 motherboards I can see have a Type-E header nor a second USB 3.0/3.1 header. Basically, my question is: Is there any way to fix this problem? Preferably keeping the functionality of both the 2 USB 3.0 ports and the USB-C port.
The only other option I can think of is getting a USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 adapter and just limiting the speed of the front USB ports (which is a bit sh*t), then getting a Type-E to 3.1 Gen1 adapter so I can actually use the Type-C at the front...
I appreciate the future-proofing NCASE but next time wait until there are enough boards that support it
Thanks for any help,
