Accessory USB 3.0 to 3.1 header adapters

[VegetableStu]

(Making a thread here to save a few tabs again ,_,)

so while we wait on Silverstone's CP14, there are active adapters in ModDIY and ebay. these things contain an IC to meld the two USB 5G connections on the 19-pin USB 3 header into a single proper USB 10G connection (with the fancy USB 3.1 20-pin header. (some calls it type-E? for some reason))

ebay example link (there's lots, as usual):

the IC involved:

I have no idea if they work (the reviews in ModDIY confirms they do o_o) but I intended to get one to find out for myself (also because I got a thing that could use a 10G connection ,_,)

(there aren't any pages or images of the CP14 to show if there's an IC on it? anyone who went to CES earlier this year can remember?)

Am I right when I think that, what they are trying to say is that the device takes two USB 3.1 Gen1 "channels", previously known as USB 3.0 and converts them into a single USB 3.1 Gen2 ?

yeah that's what the chip on the adapter claim to do o_o only one way to find out

(it's on the way)

EDIT: huh, lian li had the adapter for over a year o_o
