Question Corsiar 800D USB 3.0 front panel

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

Still using a Corsair 800D for my builds. I never bought the USB 3.0 front panel upgrade kit and there is almost zero chance of finding one for sale. Is there a way to convert the existing front panel into USB 3.0?

I found this Lian Li converter but the front panel USB is not a pass-through.

Lian Li UC-01 USB3.0 to 20-Pin Converter

The Lian Li UC-01 USB3.0 to 20-Pin Converter (UC-01) can transform the USB 3.0 Type A Header to USB 3.0 20pin Header so that wires (cables) can directly connect to the motherboard.

Would this work at USB 3.0 speeds?

That second one would not work. That's intended to be able to plug a USB 3 port into a USB 2 header. It will run at USB 2 speeds.

If you want USB ports on the front, and you aren't using all of the 5.25" drive bays, you can get a USB 2/3/SD/etc module to go in the place of one of those bays.

I have an 800D in the box with the upgrade installed that I've drug across the country twice because I just couldn't bring myself to throw it away.

You want to have a 2nd 800D just in *case*? :-D

As it is I have 2 spare cases already. Would you be interested in letting the USB 3.0 front panel upgrade kit go?

I think I have the upgrade kit buried somewhere in my attic.

What kind of condition is it in?

New, I couldn't use it cuz I stuck a 480mm rad in the top and the USB3 plugs are deep. Lemme jog my memory and try and hunt it down.

Darn, I cannot find it. Its been too long, I can't even remember what the package looks like. I had to double check my email just to make sure I wasn't imagining it. If you can source one go ahead. This is bugging me now. Date of order is 2012 lol.

I thought about those but would rather have the USB 3.0 upgrade front panel I/O

Thanks for asking, though

Bought 2 USB 3.0 extension cables to run from the back of the computer to the front, and now both computers are USB 3.0 accessible. Cost less than $15 USD, total.

Problem solved.
