antec 900 case USB 3.0 and only 1x20 pin connection on mb

[Rocketman122]

antec 900 v2 has 3x usb 3.0 front usb connections. I can only use 2 though because my mb has one 20 pin connection on the board. the antec has one dual cable which will activate 2 front ports but the 3rd one has another single 20 pin connector it needs and my mb doesnt have it.

what are my options if im missing a mb 20 pin port to activate my 3rd usb 3.0 connection?

do I use a 20 pin port male connector to usb 3.0 and loop it out around the back ghetto style?

is there a pcie 20 pin card that will run of the pcie lane?

just dont know how to go about it. thanks in advance

bravo for the link.

can I use 2 of these cards and use them in different slots?

I have a gigabyte 990fxaUD3

in the picture it has the small 1x pci on top which is empty. the 2nd is the pcie which uses the 660gtx card. the others below are free but was wondering if I can use a 1x card in them as well?

bravo for the link.

any card that has 2x20 pin ports?

I could maybe find one, but why? You already have one onboard and only two total 20-pin connectors, correct?

Per your edit: Yes, you can use a x1 card in any slot. I'm still not sure why you would want more than one, but yes you can.

I couldnt either.
I want the other for the 3rd front case USB connector and I want another card so I can use a 5.25 front connection car reader

Ah, that makes sense now. I looked again and couldn't come up with one that has two 20-pin connections on it. Those Anker cards aren't expensive if you don't mind losing two PCIe slots for it. I have two of the cards myself (one in two different machines) and they're fast and reliable. I put the one in my newer rig because the Z97 Intel chipsets don't play very well with the X52 Pro, for some reason. The VIA chipset that the Anker card uses works just fine, so it came through for me again.
