I have an MSI motherboard with USB3

have fits them. They are similar to the

cables, whatever but a lot of googling
hasn't helped ... I've looked for this
before without success.
Can anyone help me with the proper
terminology to order something that fits?

in addition to other post, a 'usb 3' connector has _2_sets_ of contacts.
outer set is 'usb 2' with 4 contacts. inner set is 'usb 3' with 5
contacts.
