    Please use canned air. All other concerns can wait until after.

    This bastard is USB 3.0 connector for your case front panel usb 3.0 A connectors.

    I get that it’s a small motherboard but that is a REALLY strange spot for a usb 3.0/C header.

    Either a USB3 connector or someone has glued a Powercord plug to a reall old Mobo in an attempt to be humerous.

    You can see a normal header is all ready present (Bottom left) on the board so using a header that could handle the national grid bang in the middle of the Mobo?

    Also given the stuff I see posted on this Sub Reddit either is possible 😏

    It is a usb cable and it is not attached to the psu, its attached to the front panel on the pc case.

    This connector’s location is so wrong

    A terrible spot for the USB 3 header. Who ever made this board said “fuck you and your cable management”

  13. Rude_Champ93

    Im 90% sure thats USB3 but I have no idea why its in the middle of the Mobo instead of below or above.

    Username checks out. Derpy for sure. The port is labeled. You could also follow the cable to see what it plugs into.

    looks like a usb head that will probably connected to the USB ports at the front of your pc case

    why on earth do you want to do a case swap? PSU i get because it’s probably a little old, but you should consider putting what you’d put into the case into even like a used r5 3600, a used B450 and some decent OC’d RAM. Priorities

    That’s an odd placement for Front Panel USB3.

  20. FunFact5000

    That’s front panel stuff, just a header for your usb ports and whatever on case top or front.

    Generally you should consult your motherboard manual as all motherboards are different. However as someone else pointed out the silk screen can be helpful as well.

  22. No-Swordfish-4702

    It’s probably what connects your usb ports on the case not the mobo

  23. Helpful-Work-3090

    what the heck is that mobo? Why would you have a usb header in that position?

  24. nesnalica

    thats the most horrible usb 3.0 front header position i have ever seen

    Yo, Veno Scorp, what the fuck is this monstrosity?
