Green PCB PCIe x1 card with 20-pin and Type-E headers, heatsink, full-height bracket

RIITOP

RIITOP PCIe 1x to USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-E + 19-pin Header Card

SKU CH-9ECW-7A40W

Adds a front-panel USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-E header and a 19-pin USB 3.0 header via a PCIe x1 slot, sharing 5 Gbps bandwidth

  • Product typePCIe expansion card
  • Adds front-panel USB-C via PCIe x1 slot
  • 5 Gbps throughput with VIA VL805 chipset
  • Includes 19-pin header for dual USB-A ports
  • Fits x1, x4, x8 or x16 PCIe slots
  • Works with Windows XP through 11 and Linux

Front-panel USB expansion

The RIITOP PCIe add-in card adds one internal USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-E header and one 19-pin USB 3.0 header to a desktop motherboard. It targets builders whose case front panel includes a USB-C port or extra USB-A ports but whose board lacks the matching headers. The card occupies a single PCIe x1 slot and works in any x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot from PCIe 3.0 or 4.0. It is not suitable for systems that only have legacy PCI slots or for small-form-factor builds that cannot accept a full-height bracket.

Thermals noise and power

The onboard VIA VL805 controller is fitted with a metal heatsink to keep the chip running cooler during sustained file transfers. No active cooling is present, so the card adds no audible noise to the system. Power is drawn entirely from the PCIe slot; no external power connector is required. The two internal headers share a total bandwidth of 5 Gbit/s, so simultaneous use of both front-panel ports will split that throughput.

Build connectors and daily use

A full-height bracket secures the card in standard ATX or micro-ATX chassis, while the low-profile PCB keeps adjacent slots accessible. The 20-pin header (19 active pins plus one key) connects to a case front-panel module that provides two USB-A ports, and the Type-E (A-key) header connects to a single front-panel USB-C port. Both headers are wired to the same controller, so only one 5 Gbit/s upstream link serves both. The package includes the expansion card only; cables for the front-panel modules are not supplied.

Questions about this item

How do I install the card in a PCIe x1 slot and which step do people miss?

Insert the card into any PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot, secure the full-size bracket, then connect the 20-pin and Type-E headers to the front panel; the step often missed is plugging both internal cables so the Type-C and dual Type-A ports both work.

What maintenance or replacement will the card need later?

The VIA VL805 chipset has a built-in heatsink; keep the case airflow clear of dust so the heatsink stays effective — no other user-serviceable parts or scheduled replacements are required.

What limit appears first under sustained heavy transfers?

The two headers share a single 5 Gbit/s uplink, so combined throughput from the Type-C and dual Type-A ports cannot exceed that bandwidth during continuous use.
