USB expansion card

[Cutechri]

It got here, installed it, seems to work fine, tested all ports, even simultaneously.

Keeping the packaging and everything in case I have to return it.

Also, it would appear my mousepad only draws about 180mA. I severely overestimated how much it would draw. Not sure if that SATA connector is even necessary, but I'll keep it.

Thanks for your help everyone. I'll look into the FEB Smart card you suggested if this one ends up giving me issues. And sorry for acting idiotic yesterday, I was sort of at my lowest.

Glad that one works and you have a backup. Also hope you get better with whatever personal things you got going on.

As someone who has also had "bipolar moments" I agree and don't worry @Cutechri we get it, all have our days etc...

I'm in need of one as the ports on this board aren't enough. Any good cards that have at least four USB 3.0 ports and doesn't require SATA power? Thanks.

Amazon.com

These work perfectly and draw their power from the slot.

Huh? I can see it as available... Otherwise I wouldn't have linked to it.
There are other sellers that have the same card as well, such as this

If you're going to power things that you think draw more than 900mA off the card, you're going to need something like this, or it won't work.
The one you ordered is just a bizarre mix of parts, as it has a Renesas host controller = Good
But then they stuck that shit Genesys Logic hub on there which is utter crap.
At least it looks like the three bottom most ports are connected directly to the Renesas host controller, with the top two and internal header going via the hub.
On the plus side, I guess you can plug in your front case connectors to the card you ordered.
That card claims 1A per port, which is somewhat better than spec.
