    Fair; I think the one potential oddity might be if you have an internal USB port that’s intended to run to a front-facing IO or something, but it really does seem like the easier way to figure that out would be to just open the case up and look.

      Only if you’re experienced enough to know what all types of USB headers look like.

      This seems like a fair question for a noobie seeing if they can add some ports without extra pci cards or hubs. I know I’ve ran searches for answers that are sitting in my mobo manual because a digital search is lazier than physically flipping through pages.

        Oh, that’s a super fair point. It wouldn’t look like a USB port, it would just be a random gpio header or something, wouldn’t it?

        I’m not super familiar with building hardware beyond watching, like, Linus Tech Tips.

            It’s all more or less entertainment for me. I don’t really expect to get any actionable information on it. Alas, I don’t really have the discretionary income for such a hobby.
