Hi guys, 

 

I have recently picked myself up a BitFenix Recon fan controller to install into my BitFenix Prodigy build PC.

 

When I went to install it I realized that the Recon required the use of 2 internal USB headers, but unfortunately the one I am using is for my Antec Khuler 950 for monitoring. My first question is, Does the Recon need to use both USB internal headers(I read somewhere you can just use one, I would like come clarification on this one)? If I can use only one then can I use the Recon to monitor the Khuler 950 and not just the case fans, meaning I can remove the USB header of the Khuler and put the recon in.

 

My PC Specs are here:

 

Intel i5 4670k

Gigabyte Gaming 5 ITX Z-97 motherboard

Antec Khuler 950

Kingston Hyper X Predator 8GB RAM

Kingston Hyper X 3K 120GB SSD

WD 1TB Blue HDD

XFX Radeon 3GB 7970

BitFenix Reacon

BitFenix Spetre Pro 200mm and 140mm

BitFenix Fury 550w PSU

BitFenix Prodigy

 

 

Any help would be really appriciated

The first USB header is used only to enable remote operation (which is kinda useless IMHO). It will function as a fan controller by just plugging in the fans and the molex connector.
don't know about the second one though. Are you sure its not USB 2.0 in stead of 2 USB headers?

Welp
