First Build Woes

[ENarutON16]

I'm building my first PC and I'm having difficulty understanding everything. I think I plugged the wrong USB 3 connector into the wrong header. How can I get it out?

 

I've got a Asus z170 deluxe MB inside an NZXT noctis 450 case with a kraken x61 water cooler.

Its in the right plug.

But I have another header on the bottom of the motherboard next to the power button. how do I take it out?

Your motherboard has two USB 3.0 headers, either will work.

But I'm guessing he wants to use the bottom one to hide the cable.

 

To remove the cable just pull on it. Don't pull the cable itself, but the header bit.

It may be hard, but it will come. It doesn't have a clip on it.

 

Also, you have two as one will be controlled by Intel and the other will be a third party chip which is normally slower than the other.

that's exactly what I want to do. thanx, I'll try that. Is there any way to know which one is going to be the fast one?

Both are 3.0 which you can tell by the shape. 2.0 are the smaller headers next to the one at the bottom.

It will say it in the manual.
Manufactures always change between them which one will be which.
It's not like sata ports where the first ones (normally grey) will be Intel and the black will be Marvell.
