Five-Port USB 3.2 Add-In Card

The ESTONE PCIE23A2C3.2 adds two USB Type-C and three USB Type-A ports through a single PCI Express x1 slot. It targets desktop owners who need more high-speed connections for external drives, peripherals or VR headsets. The card works with Windows 7 through 11 and Mac OS 10.8.2 or newer. Driver installation is required on older Windows versions.

Thermals and Power

Each port provides an independent 2 A power supply, so attached devices draw current directly from the card rather than the motherboard header. The board occupies a low-profile bracket and fits x1, x4, x8 or x16 slots compliant with PCIe 2.0, 3.0 or 4.0. No auxiliary power connector is needed, keeping cabling simple inside the case.

Bundled Extras

The package includes a driver CD, mounting screws and a printed user manual. The CD supplies the RENESAS/VLI USB 3.0 driver needed for Windows XP, Vista, 7 and Server 2008, while Windows 10, 11, Mac OS and Linux recognise the card automatically. The manual walks through the recommended power-down and two-minute wait before installation.

Questions about this item

How do I install the ESTONE PCIE23A2C3.2 card and what step is often missed?

Shut down the PC, unplug the power cord and wait two minutes before inserting the card into a PCI Express x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot; the wait is the step most people skip.

What driver or firmware updates will this card need over time?

Windows 7, Vista, XP and Server 2008 require the RENESAS/VLI USB 3.0 driver from the included CD; Windows 10, 11, Mac OS 10.8.2+ and Linux need no driver.

What bandwidth limit appears first when all five ports run sustained transfers?

The three top ports (two USB-C and one USB-A) share a single 10 Gbps lane, so combined throughput caps at 10 Gbps while the bottom USB-C port keeps its own 10 Gbps path.
