Review on 🔌 EZDIY-FAB USB 3.1 Gen2 Internal 20-pin Front Panel Connector Expansion Card 10 Gbit/s USB 2.0 PCI Express 3.0 X2 Adapter for Desktop Computers (ASM3142) by Ryan Thrasher

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Doesn't work with hibernation

EDIT: After some use I found that the card doesn't wake up from hibernation. It doesn't see anything connected to the port until you disable/enable the card in Device Manager or restart your computer. Extremely annoying! Used this to connect my new case's USB-C front panel to an old motherboard. It works fine for data, but I wouldn't trust it for charging. There's no dedicated power supply connector, so it just plugs straight into the PCI-E slot - I'm afraid plugging in a high power device will fry the motherboard.
