Additional USB connector header
Additional USB connector header
I’m preparing to create a MITX build and have the motherboard I found (https://www.amazon.com/ASRock-Motherboar...B07FVVNDFX). It seems it only has two USB ports. A standard USB connector can handle two devices, but there’s this unusual port labeled USB_5—possibly for a RGB component or something similar. According to the manual, if I build an adapter, could I add another connection from that port? Also, there are a few threads that might fit here; I think this is the best place to post it, correct?
This power pin seems set for +5V, which aligns with the design of AMD stock coolers featuring RGB lighting, such as the Wraith Prism. The remaining pinout appears to match a typical USB 2.0 internal header. It’s worth noting how many internal headers are actually necessary—most modern setups use USB 3.0 front panels, and unless you require extra ports, a simple USB 2.0 hub usually suffices. Even with software control, I’ve opted for a basic internal header hub when additional connections were needed.
