Review on LINKUP - Active Chip USB 3.0 (3.1 Gen 2) Internal IDC 20 Pin 🔌 Motherboard Header to Type-E (A-Key) 20 Pin Female Converter for Type C Panel Mount Adapter by Chad Cross

I bought this MB adapter chip to add a more modern USB Type-C port to my AsRock AB350 Pro4 motherboard to first Oculus Link to use my Quest VR headset. The built in USB-C usually didn't work properly and I tried using the full size USB 3 port on the front of my case with the same port on the MB but the connection dropped frequently and I had no luck. with cable extenders, adapters, etc. Before buying a long and expensive Oculus cable with Type-C on both ends, I wanted to make sure my PC had a usable Type-C connector. So far it works great with the same connector on the back from the manufacturer and I'll probably order and upgrade a cable soon. A tip: Initially, my computer did not recognize the adapter chip at all. I took it off and found that I didn't push the panel cable all the way down. This required more effort than I'm used to, and I would recommend installing the "a-key" cable *before* installing it on the motherboard. When I clicked the last mm, reinstalled and restarted, Oculus was connected and Link worked (Win 10).
