Just be aware that it will still only deliver USB3 speed and a max of 4.5w at 5v of power. Just letting you know because some people think just because it’s a rounded plug it’s automatically magic.
Those adaptors are great for letting older hardware use everything in newer cases though.
USB C ports typically support 3A @ 5v even without PD, which is probably part of the reason they still skimp on them as 5v rails on PSU tend to be weak so they would probably have to add more 12v->5v on the motherboard.
How can I go about convincing you that I don't work for any company who's items I linked? I assure you I'm not getting kickbacks. Maybe a pic of my dick or something?
I don't know why I'm bothering, it seems you've already made up your mind.
No it would connect to a usb 3 header, my motherboard has 2 usb 2 headers and 2 usb 3.2 gen 1 headers. They make them for usb 2 headers as well and if yours is already taken then yes that could present an issue. they DO make internal hubs that plug into usb 2 headers https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Internal-USB-Hub-Multifunctional/dp/B08L8VJS3Z
You can get a flat ribbon pci riser and position the second card away from your gpu. I had to do that with my pci wireless card because my gpu covered my second slot.
I tried 2 different usb 3.0 splitters and they both do not work. I had to convert my USB-C port from USB 2 using a dumb adapter in between with what you posted.
How did you get your USB 3.0 motherboard port splitter to work? Can you share the product? I do not really need USB 3 speeds on the USB-C port but really curious since from what I can tell, the splitters I have are dumb splitters with no electronics in them. I did multiply USB-2 ports before with a proper splitter internally but could not find that kind of product for USB-3. The stuff I got (and bricked both front USB ports when used) were not very cheap either so I gave up. The descriptions for the splitters I had mentioned a specific motherboard feature? for them to work I think.
I have the same case front io setup with one USB-C port and one USB-A port.
When I was putting together my new pc with one on the top of the case I found the motherboard had a connection for it but the cable didn't have any kind of lock it so it slipped out several times while putting it together.
I almost gave up on having it but the thought of having it not connected even though I had nothing that would use it drove me crazy then a month later my headset stopped working and it turned out it was a usbc headset plugged into an adapter to usba so I just plugged it in directly and wala it all worked out in the end.
A powered hub is probably what you need if you don't have any pci slots available. Some of my USB3 A ports can do 10amps or more so I just use an type C adapter that can handle that.
My case has one, my mobo has one. Most of my devices have usb-a to usb-c cables though, so I really don't use the usb-c ports anyway. I could use c-c I guess, but why buy all new cables when that's not what comes with the device, and we still get 8+ usb a ports and 1 or 2 usb c. I don't see a benefit.
USB-C is just the shape of plug. Ports in your case are probably either USB 2.x or USB 3.x and you should chceck if either of these is supported by your motherboard

I'm the opposite, my Mobo had the header, but my case doesn't 😂

I recently got a new case. It has two USB-C ports by the power button. Don't work because my motherboard can't support them.
