Small USB header on STX board?

[ejectbutton]

Hey guys, so I just ordered an gigabyte STX board (gigabyte GA-H110STX-HD3) and planned on using its internal USB 9 pin port to make IO a bit more robust. It seems though, that the port is actually much smaller than a standard 9 pin plug. I can post a picture in a little while, but for the moment, no pics.

Does anyone know anything about this port? Is there a proper adapter from this to a regular 9 pin? Does it have a different name? Any information is appreciated.

Yes on the STX motherboards the headers are a finer pitch then found on most other motherboards. I think it is 2 mm and not the 2.54 mm (0.10 inch) pitch. I used USB 3 20 pin cables and cut down to fit my needs (see Post # 51 on page 6 of https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/a-skylake-cube.197843/ ).

Good luck,
Neil

Oh

you've no idea how helpful that post is. Actually, you probably do. Thank you so much!
