ChenYang USB 3.0 Front Panel Header 19/20Pin Male to Female 90 Degree Down Angled Mainboard Header Gender Changer Connector Adapter

Exactly what was needed for a much more clean USB 3 header connector installation. A bit on the snug side to install but holds firmly in place. Supports speeds as expected. No complaints!

Just be careful, the blue housing can be somewhat delicate, don't yank the USB3 header cable out of it. Look at videos of how to remove the cable, rocking it back and forth, slowly and gently.Otherwise, this worked perfectly in my build to make the USB3 header cable much less obtrusive.

The standard usb3 M/b connector is difficult to use and I hope it is redesigned for future USB implementations. It often has thick cables to the case ports that are difficult to cable manage. These right angle adapters are inexpensive and facilitate cable management. That said, my first connector came apart when trying to remove the plug. Also, I Sharpied over the blue plastic for esthetics. Would prefer all black or even white. These come apart if you are not careful removing the plug, then are impossible to realign the pins. Right angle adapter -pretty good, motherboard plug- bad design.

I have a Mother Board with two USB 3.x headers. Unfortunately, one of them was blocked by a second graphics card that I have installed. Using this device and a small riser for the GPU, I'm using both USB 3 headers. I have what I need and that makes this

This was something I was hoping it was going to work, the USB 3.0 port on my motherboard was sort of in the way if I was to get a longer graphics card, this would’ve fit the bill, the trouble is, the moment you plug it in to the motherboard with the cable, it almost becomes permanently attached to the cable, and as you know these cables they tend to be pretty thick, and depending on where you route it through the cable management holes in your case, there will be some tension on the cable where it connects to the motherboard, now there’s tension on it anyway when it’s in its normal slot, and the motherboard slot has no problem dealing with this, this thing worked maybe five minutes, and that little tension completely killed it. I’m glad I didn’t do any more harm to the computer as some people have mentioned, I noticed that it’s like a pin/Lego/circuit board construction, very flimsy. I wish it was a lot more solid and less likely to fall apart.Great idea. Poorly done

The adapter worked well enough for me however it is a little flimsy, be careful if you need to remove it from either the board or the cable end as it is possible to pull the assembly apart. The color is yuck so style points are down the chute but I wasn't willing to pay 3 or 4 times more for a black plug lol.

Unfortunately my motherboard's USB 3.0 header has the notch on the bottom and I am using the newer Lian-Li PC-011 Dynamic Razer Edition, of which I filled the entire bottom with case fans and left no room for my front-panel USB 3.0 cable. I flexed, bent, and plugged the cable in at an awkward angle but this resulted in unstable front-panel USB 3.0 operation. Thankfully I was able to find this little gem and it wasn't exactly a perfect fit but it connected to my board and cable with satisfying clicks and worked great with stable connectivity and speeds!

I got this to allow a CPU fan not to be bothered with the front panel USB cable, this mostly did the job as it changes the angle from which the cable connects to the motherboard, however the adapter itself is quite tall so my fan still can't fit properly.I have not tried removing it yet so I cannot share anything about the issues I saw in the reviews, and I assume I am familiar enough with hardware handling to find the solution to remove this without damaging the motherboard, however if it turns out to be excessively difficult this would definitely take a star away from it.To be continued, so far so good
