Is this originally part of the motherboard or part of the case? If it's the motherboard part, any reason (other than the obvious aesthetic ones) you couldn't bundle 2 pin jumper extensions in heatshrink if the existing case front panel cables are too short?

It's not completely sure what issue you're having.

edit: Or is the actual FP header on the motherboard completely proprietary and can't be accessed with the normal size jumpers? (If that's the case, that's nuts, and never should have been incorporated into the board!).

its from the motherboard it needs this particular extension because they went proprietary with this connector the FP on the Case itself isnt split either its all combined into a housing like usb 2 internals are itd need to connect to there cable to work,

So it's that connector there? Damn.... I can't imagine you're going to be able to find something to take it's place if Gigabyte doesn't have it.

thatd be the usb c this ones even worse as its on the side of the board ill upload a pic of it.

Have you checked out this post? Looks like he's got directions on how to make your own (including the pinouts).

It looks relatively straight forward.... source one of the connectors he's linked to (US digikey https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/samtec-inc/TLE-105-01-G-DV-A-K-TR/6693205), solder an extension cable set to the appropriate pins (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004753128812.html) and connect your case to that.

seen that as well but not 100% confident id get it right if the first one just fits in the spot i could attempt it but would hope for a safer solution. did my searches weeks ago tried reaching out various places inc Gigabyte usa via X (Twitter) and Radio Silence since thought well if im getting nowhere maybe others have or can help in creating this.

@Shadowarez did you check Ebay, and/or AliExpress? Although Ebay doesn't always have the particular item you might be looking for, I have often seen this sort of thing on there.
