Used to add front USB-C

My new motherboard doesn't have the front USB-C port that was in my case. This is a small card, but it includes the necessary connector. I installed it in the 2nd PCIe 16 slot, connected the cable and booted into Windows 10. No additional software was required, Win 10 recognized the card. It's much more convenient to be able to connect flash drives and USB-C cables from the front, and you don't have to reach to the case and look for a slot.

Pros
  • USB port cards
Cons
  • Updates

Easy install, Windows, works as advertised, may conflict with NVME

So it works fine for what I ordered it for. I installed it on a ROG Strix B550-F gaming motherboard and it works. I had a little trouble installing it, but I think it has more to do with the motherboard than anything else. I had to use my top PCI-E x1 because my front cable wasn't long enough to reach the other two slots. I want the board to be oriented to the right instead of the left. I installed it from the minidisk that came with it and even though my driver name didn't match, it installed…

Pros
  • I/O cards
Cons
  • Nothing

But it works great with my system.

This is a great little card for my system. I have a B450 Aorus Pro WiFi motherboard and it is installed in a PCI-e x4 slot. Works without problems. The driver is easy to install and I get high read/write speeds in the 1000MB/s range. Other reviewers point out that the C connector is at the bottom, which is a terrible place for it. This makes it impossible to install other cards in the PCI-e x8 slot below. Also, since my case's cable is rigid, it cannot be installed in the port closest to the…

Pros
  • Computer and Accessories
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

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

Pros
  • Internals
Cons
  • There are cons

No problems with my nzxt h510

I just needed something to enable USB from the front and it worked. I have this installed in my Tomahawk Max B450 and my nzxt H510. I didn't expect top performance, but it was enough. Other alternative products are more expensive or even out of stock, which is why I chose this model. It can charge and transfer data, and I don't use sleep mode, so I haven't been able to test how it handles waking. Overall it's good and I really only went with it because no big company made an accessory like…

Pros
  • Computer components
Cons
  • Some difficulties
