Four-Port USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-C PCIe Card

This Fervit card adds four reversible Type-C ports to a desktop through a single PCIe lane. It uses the uPD720201 chipset and delivers up to 5 Gbps per port while drawing power directly from the slot. The board fits x1, x4, x8 or x16 slots and includes both low-profile and full-height brackets. It suits builders who need more USB-C connections for peripherals or charging.

Sustained throughput with Multiple INs

The uPD720201 controller implements Multiple INs to keep the 5 Gbps bus utilised during long transfers rather than only in short bursts. Backward compatibility covers USB 3.0, USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps and USB 1.1 at 1.5 Mbps. Each port supplies 5 V at up to 3 A for charging. The adapter carries data and power only, so it cannot drive USB-C video, audio or thunderbolt devices.

Driver-free on modern systems, bracket swap required

Windows 10, Windows 11, macOS 10.8.2 and later, and Linux recognise the card without extra drivers; Windows 7 and 8 need the supplied driver. Installation is a matter of seating the card and choosing the 8 cm or 12 cm bracket for the chassis. The only common issue is forgetting that the ports lack DisplayPort Alt Mode or thunderbolt support, so monitors or docks requiring those protocols will not work.

Questions about this item

Does the uPD720201 chipset generate noticeable heat or noise when all four Type-C ports run at 5Gbps all day?

The card draws power from the PCIe x1 slot and has no active cooling, so it runs silently; the uPD720201 chipset is rated for the full 5Gbps bandwidth without requiring a fan.

What must my motherboard provide for this card to work?

A free PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot supplies both data lanes and the 5V/3A power the card needs; no extra power cable is required.

Will my USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices still work at their rated speeds when plugged into this card?

Yes, the uPD720201 is compliant with USB 2.0 at 480Mbps and USB 1.1 at 1.5Mbps, so older peripherals operate at their native speeds.
