I just finished assembling my new computer and everything is running smoothly! My case includes a front USB-C port, but my motherboard lacks a USB-C header. I can't use a USB A to USB C converter since only one port exists on the board and it's already occupied by my current connections. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this? Or am I stuck with no working port?

If the current setup isn’t functioning, consider purchasing a USB PCIe card that matches the required port. If the device is still new, returning it and installing a different motherboard with the necessary headers could be more cost-effective. Also, note how the B450 chipset distributes PCIe lanes—using multiple cards might cause issues. Review the B450 block diagram and the specific motherboard layout to ensure compatibility. Adding another card may lower your GPU’s PCIe lane count.
