Question about Fractal Define R6 USB-C - Blackout TG
I am in the process of putting together a new PC and have the following questions: Can a card reader be installed with this case? As I have seen, there is a door and a 51/4 slot. Can all front connectors and possibly the card reader be connected in combination with the mainboard below? ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero WiFi (LGA 1151, Intel Z390, ATX) https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/asus-rog-maximus-xi-hero-wifi-lga-1151-intel-z390-atx-mainboard-9853835 Is there a recommendation regarding the internal card reader?

Good morning
Pdk is right, the mainboard will fit easily in the case, but you only have one USB 3 port on the mainboard which only supports 2 ports. Unfortunately you have no way to "cheat" this or anything. The only option you would have is to install a USB riser card in a PCI slot. Unfortunately I haven't found a suitable card in the Digitec range. Then you could certainly connect everything.
My personal recommendation is to always use an external device via USB for CD/DVD drives as well as card readers. The reason for this is that if you change PC, are on the road or whatever, you can always take it with you and USB 3.0+ usually has a higher data rate than the SD and CF cards that can be used with Pro Cameras (I own a 5D Mk3).
Hope I could be of some help with your question.
Thank you for the answers, that's exactly what I was "afraid" of. Which motherboard would you recommend for this case so that all the front connections and the card reader can be installed?
Thanks for the help!
...clear.
