My motherboard is a Z390 Auros Pro and it has an on board USB-C port. I am getting the HP Reverb G2 and it has 2 option to power it, one with a USB-A/power adapter and the other being a single USB-C. I’d like to keep less things plugged in and would much prefer to use a single USB-C vs a USB/outlet combo.
The problem is that it requires a specific amount of power (at least 6w) and I have no idea if my motherboard’s USB-C meets that requirement. I checked the manual, gigabyte forums and even tried contacting Gigabyte themselves and I can’t seem to get an answer.
So is there a way to test it either with software or a piece of hardware to see how much power this thing can deliver. Thanks for any help or suggestions.
If it’s a spec compliant port, then I would imagine the same as your average USB 3.1 port is capable of (900mA I think). GB sometimes configures certain USB ports on their boards to be able to provide extra current however, so check your board’s manual if it has a BIOS option for that.
