Uh, my ASUS B650E-E doesn't have that. That's a bummer

[@FullTowerTV]

Is it a ProArt motherboard?

[@JoaoBarbosa1996]

@@FullTowerTV it is not. Just a "regular" ROG one.

[@FullTowerTV]

@JoaoBarbosa1996 Ahhh I know this model! It's pretty and bad ass 😍 🤪

@@FullTowerTVit is yeah! paid the premium to hopefully have a motherboard that will last me till the end of AM5. Having USB-C PD in the front panel would have been nice but oh well. Nothing too critical

[@FullTowerTV]

@@JoaoBarbosa1996 True. Btw, you have 2 Type C ports at the back of your motherboard - one of them delivers up to 100W of PD and the other one can deliver up to 30W of PD. So, while it's inconvenient it's in the back it is still a beast to have! :)
