I built a mini itx pc not too long ago and now I need a usb port

Just clip the wire in half and use the original USB data pair and power pair.

If you're not up for clipping wires, you're not up for assembling ITX or smaller.

Correct me if im wrong but doesn't the usb 3.0 motherboard header only support up to 2 ports? And since those 2 are already taken by my front panel wouldnt there be issues if I just spliced another cable on the existing cables.

I guess I could try to find an existing 3.1 front panel cable, clip that and find the pinouts for that but I was wondering if there already was a cable available for purchase that did the exact same thing.

I would really prefer not to fry my motherboard connectors.

I assumed you already had a 3.1 cable.

But yes, never make a Y-cable out of USB, it won't work. There's nothing wrong with breaking out one of the ports from a two-port header though. Obviously if you do that you'll only have one port on the front and the other one won't work.

Right, I guess I guess im going to try to find a usb 3.1 front panel cable from somewhere and until I find one I'll just run a cable from the back panel to my fan controller

Get a USB hub and deal with it on the outside or get a PCie USB expansion card with an internal usb port
