I was planning to assemble a PC but encountered this issue with the ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming. The Wi-Fi indicator shows a problem: the motherboard lacks enough USB 3.2 Gen 2 or Gen 1 connectors, so the case’s USB 3.2 Type C port won’t work. You might want to consider using a USB splitter or checking if an alternative port setup is possible.

The issue involves a device with a USB-C port, but the motherboard lacks a header for it. You may need to check the specific model or consult the manufacturer's documentation for a suitable solution.

The case features several USB-C ports. The motherboard only has one USB-C header, so you'll need a PCIe card to utilize that connection.

You don't have to include a second C-type on the front panel if it isn't essential. You'll get the standard number of USB 3 ports, with a C connector on the back only—no front one. If you want a C connector on the front or anticipate needing it later, consider another board. As @Kuruton mentioned, you can also add a PCI card for compatibility (more affordable and easier to switch).
