USB 3.2 using a USB 3.0 port on my PC case
I have a Fractal Design Define R5 PC case, and am intending to use it for a completely new build using an upcoming AMD Ryzen 3000 series CPU and an X570 Motherboard. Precisely which variant of these two, I have yet to decide, but the Asus (very likely) motherboard will have headers for USB 3.2 Gen 2
My question is this: The case has two front ports for USB 3, labelled USB 3.0 (now to be known as USB 3.2 Gen 1).
Will these Gen 1 ports fully support the USB 3.2 Gen 2 headers - by this I mean to their full Gen 2 speed?
Obviously, I only expect the front USB 2.0 ports to work at USB 2 speed, even if connected to a USB 3 header.
