USB port support on the front panel
The file version is U32. It's better to check the header text rather than USB3.2 or consult the manual.
I understand the mention of USB 3.2, but I'm uncertain if it matches the header on your previous motherboard. I don't want to risk damaging anything by inserting the wrong connection. Are you sure they're identical and it should work?
It remains consistent. Version 3.2 represents a newer USB3 standard with increased speed. One USB3 header can support two USB3 ports as described in the guide. F_U32C refers to the Type-E connector for USB-C, which can be adapted to a USB3 header using an adapter.
Yes, switching parts should improve the speed of those two ports on your case.
It should be. I’m not very familiar with USB high-speed variants because their names have changed over time. @Eigenvektor would love to explain more!
It would be nice, though in reality it probably won’t change much. All the files I move from my computer using those ports are stored on mechanical hard drives, which means I only get about 200-300 megabytes per second. Still, as long as the case cable fits and it functions, I’m okay with that. That’s why I chose this particular motherboard in the first place—I wanted a hard drive setup that would work smoothly. Most Z790 boards only have four SATA ports unless you spend more, but when I stopped looking for a six-port option, I found one that was really affordable and had six ports, so I went with it.
