I intend to install that motherboard into my existing case mentioned in the title. I’ve been browsing the user manual online to understand the setup better before purchasing. Reviewing some diagrams, I noticed it specifies 4x 2.0 USB on the front panel. My case currently has two USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.0 ports, plus microphone and headphone jacks. The motherboard I’m using now is an ASUS H170 Pro Gaming model, with a layout that appears quite similar. I assumed everything would be compatible. I’m not concerned about the size since dimensions are standard. I prefer the front USB ports in my old case, which is why I’m considering this build. Mostly what I’m changing is the motherboard and CPU. My case supports both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 connectors. It’s been a while since I had to replace a motherboard—about five years ago. Do you have a 3.0 connection on the ASUS X570 board that I missed, or am I missing two USB ports altogether?

Yes, it is present. When you view the board image, the USB 3 header appears directly beneath the 24-pin connector.

It seems the headers were designed for USB 3.0, but they still work for USB 3.2 and other versions. You should be able to connect USB 3.0 devices without issues.

Certainly! Here is a revised version of your sentence:

Yes, it will function perfectly.
