Corsair Link cable on Asus Maximus IX Code

[eera5607]

Hello everyone! I'm trying to install the AIO H100i v2 and I'm having trouble finding  the correct header for the Corsair Link cable. The motherboard has a 1314 USB 2.0 header but it  does not match with the Corsair Cable. The space without a pin doesn't match. I don't know where to connect that cable. 

The thing is that the header that match with the header cables is called  ROG_EXT and there is an annotation that says "1 x USB 2.0 port (USB1314) at mid-board shares pins with ROG extension (ROG_EXT) port".... I can't connect it to the USB header from the image because it doesn't match but I can connect it to the ROG_EXT header. What do I have to do?

Just use the UBS 2.0 header

It doesn't match. I can't connect the cable in that header.

Generally a little bit confused. Are you sure you have the cable the correct way? It should go into the USB 2.0 header (10-1 pin). If you are adamant it doesnt fit, please post a photo of your Corsair link cable (looking down at the header) and your motherboard header.

The USB2 header cable should look like this, as you can see, there is a 10-1 pin header and so should plug straight into your USB header, wires on the top (red to the left)

It should plug in right here:

Thanks! Yes that's what I thought but compare the cable from the image and that header (the USB 1314 that you show there and I show in the first post) they doesn't fit... The position of the "free" pin does not match. Give me a moment and I will post the pictures but they are the same that you shared. Thanks for your help!

I don't know why it wouldn't match (it's a standardized connection). But if you still have issues you can take a regular USB mini to type A cable and just plug the AIO directly into an external USB port for the exact same effect.

You're using the wrong header the USB header is one the beside that, it is the second (right) portion of the ROG EXT header.

 

The Blue circle, the header next to that is not for USB.

Thank you everyone! Yes, I was following the user's manual trying to connect the cable to the header above the USB1314 mark. I was confused by the image that I attached in the first post and the image shared by @pyrojoe34 . That is not the right header. The right header is the header marked in blue by @W-L. I thought that the 1314 was the header next to that one and that's wrong. Thank you everyone... again.
