I checked my motherboard setup and noticed it has only two USB and one COM header. I’m thinking about using the COM header solely for power instead of USB connections. That could simplify things and avoid needing extra headers.

Consider these options: you might explore Amazon listings for similar products, and it’s worth checking how USB header power splits work before proceeding. If necessary, a DIY fix could be possible, though opinions vary on whether it’s acceptable.
