Hey everyone! I'm in the process of building my PC using parts I found here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PYN83w. I've run into a couple of issues related to USB connections. Specifically, I need to use a USB 2.0 to USB 3.2 Gen 1 header adapter and a USB 3.2 Gen 1 to USB 3.2 Gen 2 header adapter. Can anyone help me figure out what specific adapters I should get to resolve these issues?

If you're trying to get that USB-C working, you may need to look for a USB 3.2 Gen 1 header to USB-C adapter. Just keep in mind that if the motherboard lacks a USB 3.2 Gen 2 header, you won't be able to utilize that functionality fully. You might also want to confirm what ports your case supports to avoid any surprises!
It looks like your motherboard might not support USB 3.2 Gen 2, which is necessary for USB-C functionality—meaning that part of your front I/O won't work as is. As for the USB 2.0 mention, it seems your motherboard has USB 2.0 headers while your case might not have any front USB 2.0 ports. You may want to consider looking for adapters that can bridge these compatibility gaps.
