So here's my problem. I'm buying this mobo [ https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MAG-Z690-TOMAHAWK-WIFI-DDR4 ] and it should have 2 usb headers as it's said under the specs. Now i have a razer tomahawk atx and on the case i have ( 2x USB-A 1x USB-C. ) and also corsair icue core for my fans and they all must be connected to a usb header. ( if i'm not mistaken ) Now i wanna know if i'm missing something and i can actually somehow plug them all in without problem or do i have to buy an expansion?

each row of the USB header is a USB port.  So one of those headers covers 2 ports.  Type C uses a different header next to the 24 pin connector, next to the USB 3 header.  So that should leave an extra for icue:

 

Red is USB 3, orange is type C

You can also do all sorts of shit like plug in a hub to the header or convert USB 3 header to USB 2 headers.  It's all just USB ports so anything you can do there you can do to a header.
