As you noted, there are two ways to do this.
You can get something like this (maybe longer, if you can find it) to adapt your front panel USB3 slots to connectors that you can plug into the mobo in the back.
Alternatively you can get one of these and adapt the USB3 header into a USB2 header so it can connect to your mobo's internal USB2 connector. This will turn your front panel USB3 ports into USB2 ports.
