I just got a Gigabyte B760M motherboard, and I'm trying to figure out the USB 3.2 port. I have a USB 3.0 cable, but I can't seem to find any compatible cables or adapters online. Will my existing cable work, or do I need something else for proper functionality?

If the connectors on both ports are the same, your USB 3.0 cable should fit and work just fine! No need to stress about finding a special cable right away.

The USB standard is pretty much designed to be backward compatible, so your current cable should work. Just keep in mind that for achieving the maximum speed of USB 3.2, you might need a different cable. Also, shorter cables tend to work better with faster speeds, but your current setup should be good for now.
