Hi everyone, I have a Hero Z790 motherboard. The problem is that I have two USB C inputs. In my case, the motherboard allows me to connect only one. Is there a kind of splitter to insert into the card so that I can connect both USB Cs? I try searching but I can't find anything

Hello camuut
You could use a usb-c to usb-a adapter, these particular adapters support data transfer.

thanks but I was looking for an adapter to insert into the motherboard which would then allow me to connect the USBs of the case in order to have both usb c ports usable because the hero z790 only has one slot for the usb ones do you know if something of this kind exists?

Have you tried using the Thunderbolt ports? I don't use mine, but I think they will work as normal USB C ports as well. If not, you can get USB C hubs. One of those might be a convenient way to add more ports.
Depends on your case, but you probably have a USB C port on it as well if you have connected the connector from the case connections to the motherboard.
So in total, you should have 2x Type C ports and 2x Thunderbolt.

my case has four normal USBs and two USB Cs I managed to activate the four normal USB ports and one USB C but I don't have any other free inputs to be able to put the last USB C in fact the wire is not connected inside the case my idea was to put a splitter inside the motherboard that would transform the input into two inputs so I could put both wires

OK, well just to say that you can also get USB-A to USB-C convertors, male and female, so you should have plenty of options depending on how you prefer to do it. There are also lots of extension cables for USB A/C that terminate with just about every type of USB connector you will ever need.
If you have connected you case sockets to the motherboard using the blue connector, then I would expect both USB C ports to be working. My case only provides a single USB C socket. If you have two, I think they should be split out by the case itself. Doesn't the manual for your case explain how to connect to the motherboard?

I don't know what connectors your case has, but is it one of these that you need?
or one of these?

my cable is this

So that should plug into socket #9 on your motherboard diagram. Are you saying that you have already used up the socket on your motherboard and need another one (hence the splitter)?

Yes, I basically keep two cables like the one in the photo but only one input because the others are already occupied. I was looking for something that would transform the last input I have into two separate ones to be able to put both cables.
