Since I have a problem with my PC's USB ports I would like to ask if there is any USB 3.0 PCI-E controller that has a USB connector like the one of the following photo:

in order to connect an internal USB front panel to it.

Thanks for any answers!

About the first one. Where is the USB connector?

And for the second one: Why 20 pins?

The connector is like this:

Besides I can't see how the adapter can be fitted to the controller card.
the black one is where you will put the header
the white one is to give more power to the usb ports

What you are showing is a USB2.0 front-panel connector, OP. Which needs to be plugged into a USB2.0 card. Not a 3.0 card, there are more wires in a USB3.0 connection.

I'm sorry, I think I have missed. The black connector on the card is for the USB 3.0, right?

Correct if you have a USB3 mobo cable (as apposed to one ment for pass through) that black connector would be where you plug it in.
