OMEN 30L Desktop PC GT13-1000i (1S3R9AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

Hello there,

 

I recently started getting into PC upgrading on my own, which is a lot of fun! I now wanted to add USB3.0 to my OMEN 30L PC. Does anyone have expierence with that and maybe suggest me a good card to use?

The backplane of your Omen desktop PC using the Oasis motherboard already has two USB Type-C ports.

 

You can add a PCIe x4 USB 3.0 card to increase the number of USB 3.0 Type-C ports. 

Performing the upgrade is quite simple. 

 

I have had good success in the past with Digitus and Startech cards. The URL is a PC hardware store that is regional for you in Austria.
