Hi everyone,

 

I just installed a Sabertooth Z87 in my case, a Haf 932. As I was installing I I ran into an issue. The case has 4 USB 2.0 ports on the front pannel (2x USB plugins) and the board has two USB 2.0 headers. So far so good, however I also use an H100i for my CPU cooler which takes up one of the USB headers on the Motherboard. Is there any way I can hook up the second USB front panel?

 

Thanks In advance.

You could use a PCI-E adaptor that gives you more USB 2.0 headers unless you can find some splitters??

Thanks Fishy, that is the exact sort of thing I was thinking of. Though this may be a solid excuse to get a new case if I can ever get the motivation to actually take everything out that I just installed  :rolleyes:
