This is just standard USB front, with USB 3.0 cable which goes to motherboard. It will give you only what specification says. Wikipedia says that about USB 3.0 power specs:

Power and charging

As with earlier versions of USB, USB 3.0 provides power at 5 volts nominal. The available current for low-power (one unit load) SuperSpeed devices is 150 mA, an increase from the 100 mA defined in USB 2.0. For high-power SuperSpeed devices, the limit is six unit loads or 900 mA (4.5 W), almost twice USB 2.0's 500 mA.[10]:section 9.2.5.1 Power Budgeting

USB 3.0 ports may also implement other USB specifications for increased power, including the USB Battery Charging Specification for up to 1.5 A or 7.5 W, or, in the case of USB 3.1, the USB Power Delivery specification for charging the host device up to 100 W.[12]
You will get something similar, not more than that.
I tried 2 Moolanders on my USB 3.0 front from my Fractal R5 case. They can work just fine at 756MHz. I wouldn't try anything above that, I don't want to fry my motherboard Cheesy
Thanks for the infos.

I just want to find a good hub that can run 4 Moonlanders 2 and >100$ ..  not sure if it's possible


Shared my experience with $25 hub (comes with 20W adapter so could handle 4 MLD2 at decent clock).
see:
I'm running 3 sticks on digitus 10 port https://www.digitus.info/en/products/computer-accessories-and-components/computer-accessories/usb-hubs/da-70229/   ... running fine at 832 MHz ( 4.7 MHs, HW around 1%)

Hub has room to accomodate 6 sticks but you would need to underclock them as the power supply is only 5V 4A.
