I'm thinking about fitting the Gigabyte B550I AORUS PRO AX Mini ITX AM4 board into the Lian Li TU150 Mini ITX case. The main challenge is linking the front USB-C port. Most mini-ITX boards with a front USB-C support come with high prices, often over $300. To stay within budget, I'm opting for an adapter based on a previous discussion. So far it's working, but I'm struggling to understand Gibabyte's spec sheet (attached) for the B550I. It mentions 2x USB 3.1 and 2x USB 2.0 headers via internal connectors. If that's true, then the adapter should work with USB 2.0 speeds, making it backward compatible. However, the I/O section lists only one USB 3.1 and one USB 2.0 port. Could there be a misunderstanding? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
