Adding extra USB 3 ports to my new Akoya

Lonewolf1 — Tue, 08 Jun 2021 10:08:27 GMT

Just got an Akoya P67064 using a B460 motherboard, sorry sat on a wall outside the doctors waiting for my other half, trying to be as specific as I can!

2x usb 2.0

2x usb 3

At rear but could use more, is there any spare headers or any other way to do this internally?

And also, Hi everybody!

Cheers Jules
