Corsair Graphite 760T is the case I have. I do want to use the ASUS socket, but I can't believe they ship their premium motherboards without a single adapter or wire for USB 3.1 Gen 2...
Would USB 3.1 Gen 2 to USB 3.0 adapters limit bandwidth?

There's no such thing as a "ASUS socket" in this case. It's a standard USB 3.1 Gen 2 key A 20 pin female connector. There's plenty of products where you can turn that into a regular Type-A female connector that's backwards compatible with all other USB hardware (like a USB hub) if you want, there's no need for an adapter, it's USB, it's all backwards compatible, it's just the connectors thats a bit different. That also explains why Asus didn't ship the motherboard with an adapter, no adapter is needed, you just need a USB cable with specific connectors and motherboards usually don't come with USB cables.
Here's an example of the cable I think you are requesting though:

Thank you for clarifying the sad state of how things are, although it is still strange that ASUS is more than willing to supply cheap SATA cables, but not expensive USB 3.1 cables. I think expense is the real reason and "it's a case manufacturer accessory, not motherboard" is a technicality used as an excuse.
Yeah, but I guess now I need a back-panel USB 3.1 extension since Corsair isn't likely to offer Graphite 760T panel replacements with USB 3.1 support... A 3rd party front panel would also work, but back panel would be preferred...

I have the same problem, the case connector worked perfectly with my 2 year old Asrock board, but wont work with the new Asus board I just got, Tried the connector from amazon too, would not work. Asus seems to be the problem here
