So im trying to pick out a motherboard. I have picked out my case and cpu. My case has 2 usb 3 ports and 2 usb 2 ports. I plan on getting an h100i or something similar. The question is that the h100i or something has a usb 2 connector and the mobo only has 1. Should i pick one from the case or the one from the cooler to put in the connector or get a different mobo? And does the asus vi have a great fan controller so would i need the water cooling one anyway?

The H100i controller also lets you change the colour on the H100i from stock white to any colour.

 

I have not tried it succefully as my H100i is damaged, but, it does have a mini USB connection on the side so you could temporarily plug it into a full USB socket with a USB to USB mini cable. It does plug in correctly and there's no reason why it shouldn't work, it's just that my H100i interface is broken so I can't verfy that for you.

 

At any rate. You could also set up the H100i colour with the provided USB cable and then just leave it and unplug the cable.

Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions. Check out my profile for more ways to contact me.
