    Does anyone know if I can buy an internal USB 3.1 90 deg connector? My ROG Hero VII has the socket on the bottom edge of the mother board along with the front panel cables, fouls against the bottom fan, looking narly as hell.

    I am designing and printing a 3D fan shroud for the bottom of the case but need to try and solve this issue fist.

    <pedant> That's a USB 3.0 header. The 3.1 looks like this:-

    fact is, USB 3.0 headers, when they are not placed horizontally like this

    are just a PITA when you want to have a clean cable managment, the plugs are huge and cables are hard to bend usually.
    I have myself the worst placement on my MB:

    You can't use those 90° adaptors as the 2 headers are side by side very close to each other's, so I searched around the net to find some 90° adaptors but all those I found were like the one Cheapskate mentioned, as of now I ordered these cables, the only ones on this particular side:

    but there is only a "male to male" model, so I must craft with these

    to convert it into female and plug it into my USB 3.0 front panel headers...:rollingeyes:

    unless someone can find me the same kind of cables but male/female kind...:grin:
