Five rear ports and an internal header

The Orico PVU3-5O2I-V1 is a PCI Express add-on card that adds five external USB 3.0 ports and one internal 19-pin connector to a desktop computer. It suits owners of older systems who need faster peripheral links without replacing the motherboard. The card accepts any USB 3.0, 2.0, 1.1 or 1.0 device.

Fits x1 to x16 slots and frees rear I/O

The board installs in any PCIe x1, x2, x4, x8 or x16 slot and uses a VL800 host controller paired with a VL812 hub controller. A 4-pin Molex connector from the power supply feeds the ports, leaving the motherboard’s own USB headers untouched. The internal 19-pin header can drive front-panel USB 3.0 ports when a 20-pin adapter is added.

Low-profile design runs cool and quiet

The card measures .70 by 2.76 by 4.72 inches and weighs .17 lb, so it fits slim cases without blocking adjacent slots. No fan is present; the two Via-Labs controllers dissipate heat through the PCB and metal bracket. Each port delivers up to 900 mA, and the assembly draws only the current needed for attached devices.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum sustained data rate the card can maintain under continuous load?

The card operates at up to 5.0 Gbps per port, limited by the USB 3.0 standard and the PCIe x1 host link.

How much power does the card draw and does it need extra cooling when all ports are used all day?

It draws power from a 4-pin Molex connector and supplies up to 900 mA per USB 3.0 port; no active cooling is required.

Which motherboard slot and extra cable are required before the internal 20-pin header works?

The card fits any PCIe x1, x2, x4, x8 or x16 slot; the internal 20-pin header needs a separate USB 3.0 20-pin adapter cable (not included).
