My Deepcool fan controller have 2*USB 3.0 ports.

But on my motherboard (MSI 890GXM G65), there is no USB 3.0 connector (Available: 4*USB 2.0 connector)

How to get these 2 ports work..in 3.0 or 2.0 mode ?

You cannot convert the existing USB 2.0 ports to USB 3.0 ports. You need something like this to get usb 3.0 ports in your pc.

Which fan cooler are you using to be exact?

Does it have USB3 internal 19 pin header?

Is there any USB 3.0 connector to 2*USB 2.0 available in India?

Heard about them, but where I forgot it.. May be it comes with some chassis or something.. You may search for it in the market..
