Internal USB header expansion

[Bobe]

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, so if it isn't please let me know.

 

I got a little overexcited with my latest build that I overlooked how many internal USB headers I would need. Since I got an H100i and an AX760i, I only have enough headers to support one of them.

 

Would I be able to hook it up to something like this: https://www.ple.com.au/ViewItem.aspx?InventoryItemId=618751? It has a four pin header and the connectors from both the H100i and the AX760i are 9 pin female. I assume that a single device doesn't actually need all nine pins, is that correct?

 

Alternatively, can I just get a simple Y splitter? I think I read that doing something like this is not ideal.
