MSI PC Cases Are Future Ready With USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 | TechPowerUp
 
Besides catering to the specific needs of current gamers with existing products, MSI is also dedicated to paving the path for future industry standards with upcoming technologies. In a beautiful parallel of rudimentary technological advancement, the existence of the Type-C port transformed itself from a pioneering product feature to a ubiquitous cardinal requirement for many tech products you see today. The widespread adoption of the Type-C port is no news. While USB Type-C describes the physical connector, USB 3.2 Gen 2 exemplifies the transmission capabilities of said port.

USB 3.2 Gen 2 has a transmission speed of 10 Gbps. To further juice things up, the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 has a transmission speed of 20 Gbps. Many existing, recently released, or upcoming MSI gaming PC cases' Type-C port on the IO port supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2. Users can synergize these MSI PC cases with MSI motherboards by bridging a USB Gen2 Type-C port. Although current MSI motherboards' front Type-C only supports USB 3.2 Gen 2's 10 Gbps transmission speed, we believe that USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 will become the norm soon. This upcoming norm not only applies to future MSI motherboards but also to other devices too. With this, MSI looks to perfect the current and create the future.
 
I'm glad to see MSI making an announcement about this so that users are aware.
 
This chart is a complete list of current MSI PC cases that can support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2's 20 Gbps:


AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA

    MSI doesn't have thebest rep when it comes to cases but their new Velox 100 Airflow is a great option and ticks all the boxes imo.
