PCI 3.0 header card

[theFOoL]

Uh hi guys,

I know this is a long shot but umm without buying a new board is it possible to find a PCI to 3.0 header Card? Only reason I ask is cause my MB doesn't contain a 3.0 header so I was searching with no such cards. Is it just too slow or what? I know these cards only run in 32-bit? @133mhz but I could be fine without the Extra 3.0 Ports I have already

I could buy this though LINK and THIS

Only Cards i can find are PCIx
Probably because PCI does not have the Bandwidth

I have that exact Anker card and it works pretty damn well. Had to get it since my board has one header and my case needed two. Plug and play ready basically.

Just to ask here uhh what is the USB port for on the Inside on some of the cards I look up

Just a usb port. I assume some parts require a usb port for something internal.

That's odd so if i buy LINK it'll allow me to use the front usb 3?

I'd buy the Anker one, since it's a better known brand (afaik)

I'm in the US though yes I should

You say PCI, but then linked to PCI-E cards. Do you need PCI or PCI-E?

 

[theFOoL]

Well since the one y'all linked will allow usb 3.0 ports in the back and the ones in the front I'll be buying it and yes I meant pci but as mentioned it's just too slow for 3.0 so

Probably its an internal header (USB2 for a Front panel media Card Reader )

Yes you can connect your front USB 3 Ports with the Internal USB3.0 20PIN Connector
Providing the header cable is long enough

Well then I'll have to get a extension wire for it. Hate when site refer to it as a cable and not a wire or wires lol. That's basically what they are

This is what I need LINK

I'd say it's less about the card manufacturer, and more about the chipset manufacturer(s). The Anker uses a VIA. The Sienoc uses a Renesas and a Genesys. I know VIA and Renesas make good chips. I've read the newer Genesys chips are "fairly decent nowadays"

This is what I need

no i was Suggesting this may be needed

What Motherboard do you have that still has a PCI slot?

That's because they are CABLES!
If it was a wire it would be bare copper or steel without a sheathing coating it.

Socket 775. It's the p5g41-m le

Sorry just a little brain dead lol. The leds, hdds cables now those are wires well to my eyes they are. Cables like USB are uhh cables but underneath are actual wires

If you have an older case with a 3.5 floppy space on the front this type would suit: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6V85U45564
or external/ internal ports only: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1JM11F9479

No. That lets you plug your front-panel USB 3.0 cable into a motherboard USB 2.0 header. You'll be able to use the ports, but they'll be the slower 2.0 variety.

It looks like that board has a PCIE x1 slot. You should be able to use one of these cards without a problem. Just check the auxiliary power type: some use a Molex plug, others use a floppy drive plug. The cards have a power connector to provide sufficient power to external USB 3.0 devices.

Yea I have it layed out to what I need guys thanks

I got the pcie 3.0 adapter card and the 3.0 extension cable for the front 3.0 ports
