![]() ![]() ![]() Given that no one is suggesting this when people ask about USB splitters I assume this is not some common knowledge.Įdit: I also realized that a usb 3.0 connector has 19 pins and the standard for usb 3.0 is 9 pin, I can confirm that the same trick could work for that connector as well, however some front panel connectors are already using both of them to have multiple usb 3 ports at the front so I don’t think it is as huge of a deal.Does this sound like a familiar situation? Thought I should hare this to save more people from buying them, too. My result here, now both my devices are able to connect to the PC at the same time without me having to purchase any USB splitters. ![]() It turns out that each 9-pin USB 2.0 header is capable of driving two USB devices at the same time, see the defination on pins here, and with the help of a needle you can join two wires in one connector, a tutorial on youtube ![]() Weird, huh? And why would a usb 2.0 port, which only needs four wire in a cable need a 9-pin connector? I looked at the wires again and confirmed that both of them only used four of all 9 pins. When I tried plugging everthing in I noticed that the mobo I am working with, a b450 i aorus pro wifi has only ONE 9-pin USB 2.0 header and both my AIO and lighting control device that came with the case needs a usb connection to the motherboard, bummer right? In frustration I checked the manual for the mobo and weirdly it says: 2 x USB 2.0/1.1 ports available through the internal USB header but at the same time 1 x USB 2.0/1.1 header. So today I received the final parts I needed for my new build and I spent the whole night building it, it's a itx building using NZXT's h210i case and their AIO. ![]()
