Yes,  at least my H80i draws it's power from there.  The pwm connector only has 1 wire (fan/pump speed to prevent mobo error messages),  and the USB header is for speed control through software,  not power. 

Where is it? I handled this thing for an hour and never saw one, even on corsairs unboxing video

I've just looked on the corsair website it looks like it draws power through the fan header according to PDF download

The V2 series changed the way they power the pump.

 

It will likely have just a standard CPU fan header. Ensure you have set your CPU fan header in the motherboard to maximum. If your motherboard reduces voltage to the pump/fans to try to control fan speeds, performance can get very poor.

Maybe it's changed for the V2 (I have the older H80i). You can see the connector in this picture:

If the V2 removed it, then it's something else...

Hmmm, I wonder if I should just tear it apart to make sure it isn't anything with how the pump is mounted

Thank you guys so much, after enough gathering of willpower I finally just took it apart and found that the threading on one side of the standoff wasn't the same as the others, flipped it over and it seated all the way down almost to the motherboard like the rest, got it all back together and at 87% load the max temp was 69 degrees, a much more reasonable number than almost 100, hopefully the arctic silver will come to its full potential as it says it will in time and the temps will continue dropping. Thank you all again for the help and I hope you have a wonderful day! :D
