    USB 3.0 (motherboard) to USB 2.0 (case) cable

    Anyone know if there is such a thing as a 20 pin USB 3.0 female to 8 (or 10) pin USB 2.0 male cable?

    I have a new motherboard that has a USB 3.0 header on-board and would like to connect the front USB 2.0 ports for my case to it (the cables from the USB 2.0 ports are terminated with standard female header connectors which you'd normally expect to connect to USB 2.0 headers on a motherboard).

    Anyone know of such a cable or where I might get one in the UK?

    Many thanks.

    After quite a bit of searching this is the kind of thing I'm after:

    Anyone seen one in the UK? Most of the ones I've found appear to be the other way around to what I'm after (i.e. they are for when the case has USB 3.0 and the motherboard has USB 2.0).

    Never seen one of these before! Think it will be an import for that one! At least there won;t be any import duty on it.

    Most motherboards still come with USB 2 on them, mine personally has 2. I'm sure thats more than enough, if you really wanted to use the USB 3, you could buy a little thing that fits into a 5 1/4" bay that is 2 USB 3 ports that have a USB 3 connector. Other than that, there doesnt seem to be any cable/adapters in the UK (that i can find of anyways)
