Corsair iCUE H100i ELITE CAPELLIX

[john44]

Hi I recently purchase an AIO from corsair and I can't get it to work. I am assuming that it is because my motherboard doesn't have a USB 2.0 9 pin header 

is there any way that I can get it to work with my HP Omen computer?
Attached to this topic is the picture of my motherboard and the USB cable from Corsair.

It looks like a USB 2 header just above the USB 3 header.

This is meant for the front io but you could get a splitter.

Just in case you aren't aware of this... You don't actually need the USB wire to use the pump or fans, which are the critical components of this product for cooling your CPU. The USB cable is for for the LEDs that are common with AIOs.

 

Just be careful with the above recommendation. Those headers could also be for the case IO if HP is using a standard pin layout. So you might lose some USBs up front if you want the RGB in your AIO. You can also buy a USB2.0 header splitter. Not sure if the mobo has to support it though... my ASUS board came with a splitter and I know NZXT sells a hub for a modest price. Although the NZXT model does require SATA power.
