Motherboard provides more USB ports than B450? (lemmy.ml)

My motherboard provides 4x USB 3.2 Gen1 ports for rear I/O and another 2x USB 3.2 Gen1 ports for front I/O (through the header), but my chipset only supports 2x USB 3.2 Gen1 ports. Where is the support for the other ports coming from?

Motherboard Wikipedia
Motherboard rear I/O: 2x USB 2.0 ports, 4x USB 3.2 Gen1 ports, 2x USB 3.2 Gen2 portsMotherboard headers: 4x USB 2.0 ports, 2x USB 3.2 Gen1 ports Wikipedia B450 chipset: 6x USB 2.0 ports, 2x USB 3.2 Gen1 ports, 2x USB 3.2 Gen2 ports

The motherboard is an ASRock B450M Steel Legend

Huh that's interesting, I believe that GPU should've been running at x8 with that CPU, but if it works then whatever I suppose.

I believe there are PCIe bandwidth benchmarks, if you really want to confirm, but I wouldn't worry.

Also it isn't uncommon for the device to just report the wrong speed, for example my Intel Arc reports running at x1, but benchmarks show otherwise.
