Lowlyslows Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Hello! I am a bit lost when it comes to USB. Currently, all my ports are used up with my flight sim rig. I am prepping to add an Oculus Quest 2 VR headset that connects to the PC via the link cable. 1) Am I right in saying that if I want to USB/USB-C to charge, let’s say, my VR headset then I would a card that has SATA power supplied to it? 2) Should I go with 3.2 or does it matter? Below is my MB. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/pbvqqs/asrock-x570-taichi-atx-am4-motherboard-x570-taichi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader98 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I am using a powered USB3 hub which has the option with a button for each connection to switch it on and off. That provides me with an easy option to switch from driving sim to flight sim hardware. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t having all those USB ports get bottlenecked going through one USB wire to the computer? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader98 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 USB signals are not very demanding on bandwith so I think you will be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodak Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Get a powered PCIE expansion card, probably cheaper, and you and your devices won't go crazy with windoze chronically swapping controller numbers every time you have to reboot one by replugging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
