Simple question really...
Can both of the case USB header sockets be used together, or are they mutually exclusive?
My case uses the USB 3.0 header, so I want to make use of the USB 3.1 header to add an additional USB-C port to the rear, via a suitable cable plus back-plate. I have found such a USB 3.1 mobo cable with USB-C back-plate listed on eBay.

Greetings,
Each header works independently. As long as you use a compatible cable (proper PIN out) and port. The header doesn't care where the port is located. So "mutually exclusive" according to your definition.

Cable and back-plate arrived today and work perfectly, providing a second USB-C port to the Aorus Master, without affecting the four USB3/2 ports on the case panel. So the two case header ports are NOT mutually exclusive and can co-exist.

Apparently you and I have different ideas about the definition of mutually exclusive.
Mutually meaning together
Exclusive meaning independently
So as I said, you can use any one or more headers together and each provides independent support regardless of the port type. USB 3.1 /3 /2. They can co-exist mutually and operate on their own exclusively. What I get for trying to use your term I guess. You confirmed exactly what I said. :D
