More PC builders need to know about this internal USB hub as coolers and RGB demand more from our motherboards

The Corsair Internal 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub.

PC builders, I feel your pain. These days, there are an awful lot of components and accessories that quickly steal your motherboard's USB headers. If it isn't a swanky new AIO cooler that comes with a display on its pump header, you probably have an RGB hub or fan control system for your gaming PC that will also need a parking spot on the side of your motherboard.

And that's not even thinking about the USB connections for your case that you might actually need to plug into these motherboard headers for basic connectivity. In fairness, a lot of regular-sized motherboards will come with plenty of USB headers these days, but I have an ITX motherboard, which means I'm a bit more limited in my devices. When I recently rebuilt my gaming PC due to thermal throttling, I knew I'd need to expand somehow, and Corsair had the solution.
