I have a DP67BG motherboard and just purchased a Corsair Vengeance C70 case so I can use liquid cooling. The case has a female 20 pin connector for the two USB 3.0 connectors on the front of the case, while the motherboard has two 4 pin USB 3.0 connectors. Does anyone know what adapter I need to connect the case's 3.0 USB ports to my mobo?

I found some on the net, but not sure they're what I need. Thanks for any help.

Its usually USB 3.0 connector to USB 3.0 internal header adapter, as earlier cases had no internal header. Have yet to see it done in reverse or make sense to do it as you'll be wasting 2 USB 3.0 ports at the back for the convenience of it being at the front. You should use the USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 internal header adapter instead. You'll lose the speed but you can always get a USB 3.0 male to female extension cable if you'd like easier access to rear USB 3.0 ports.

You can try this but could be difficult to find. Or this

Thanks for the reply. Just ordered the adapter for 3.0 19 pin to the 9 pin USB connection on the MOBO.
$4.86 includes shipping.
