It sure looks like a Thunderbolt header.

Definitely not a USB header, it's an alternate type of internal Thunderbolt AIC connector.

If you are not using the internal USB 3.0 connector on your board, you can get a USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 adapter, and use that as a power source.

Otherwise, USB power is 5V, one of the three standard rails of any PC PSU. Tapping into the red wire on a four pin molex connector/cable from the PSU and adapting it to the input of your card reader would work.

I am not sure, Thunderbolt 2.0 maybe? There is no reference to it in the user manual.

Hello,

What is the header below the Dr. Debug screen labeled TB2?

It looks like a USB 2.0 header without a surround, just pins.

I need an extra (3rd) USB power supply for a card reader and was wondering if this would work?

Thanks!
