Hello!
Why do PC Cases advertise how many USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports it has on its IO panel?
Here's an example from a Kolink case:
Firstly, I assume the I/O panel in question isn't the one that the motherboard itself presents at the back of the case but one that might appear on the top of the case?
Secondly, if a mobo provides USB 3.2 (Gen 1 and Gen 2) (e.g. X570 board) and you wire those to the case's I/O panel, then wouldn't the I/O panel then be USB 3.2 and not USB 3.0? Furthermore, if you have enough USB 3.0 or higher, then why wouldn't you wire these to the USB 2.0 ports on the panel and then they are all USB 3?
Thanks,
Chris
